Hossain Ahmed Mazumdar, a gym trainer from Assam, has gone missing after being slapped mid-flight by a co-passenger on an IndiGo Mumbai-Kolkata flight. Mazumdar was reportedly experiencing a panic attack when the assault occurred, captured in a viral video showing crew members escorting him. He was scheduled to board a connecting flight to Silchar but never arrived, and his phone remains unreachable. His family, including a cancer-stricken father, is devastated and demanding answers. IndiGo condemned the assault and confirmed the assailant was handed over to security, but offered no clarity on Mazumdar’s post-flight status. Authorities have launched an investigation amid growing public outrage over passenger safety and mental health protocols.
