AAP leader Sanjay Singh on Sunday claimed that IndiGo did not allow him to board a Delhi-Bhopal flight, even though he had the boarding pass, had completed security check, and the gate was open.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader was going to Bhopal from Delhi on IndiGo's 6E2035 flight on Sunday morning.

The airline, in a statement said it regretted the inconvenience faced by Singh and added that "in the interest of other customers on board and to fulfil our promise of on-time departure, the gates close 25 minutes prior to departure".

However, a close aide of Singh said, "Sanjay ji's flight was at 6.30 am and we reached the departure gate at 6.06 am, but we were not allowed to board due to one minute delay."
The low-cost carrier said,"We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused to MP Sanjay Singh. In the interest of other customers on board and to fulfil our promise of on-time departure, the gates close 25 minutes prior to departure."
