Couple's Brawl Diverts Flight After Wife Suspected Infidelity

A couple's quarrel got their trip cancelled as the flight from Qatar to Bali landed unscheduled in India to get rid of them.

The Iranian couple and their child planned their holidays for Bali, Indonesia and took the Qatar Airways Flight from Doha.

The husband went asleep during the journey and his wife picked up his phone and unlocked it with sleeping husband’s index finger.

After looking through private content on the phone she realized that her husband was allegedly cheating on her.

The revelation turned into a brawl that disturbed the whole flight and the crew tried to control her but she did not listen. The pilot then had to divert to Chennai to offload the family.

“The incident took place on Sunday morning. The Qatar Airways flight QR-962 (Doha-Bali) was diverted to Chennai after the pilot requested for it citing unruly passenger on board as reason. The woman and her husband along with their child were offloaded and the flight departed for Bali,” said an officer of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).

The couple were reportedly held in Chennai because they didn’t have Indian visas before being sent to Kuala Lumpur.

“The family spent the day at Chennai airport and was sent to Kuala Lumpur by a Batik Air flight. No police action was taken,” the officer said.
