A disturbing video from Srinagar Airport has gone viral online. It shows a senior Army officer physically assaulting SpiceJet ground staff after being asked to pay for excess cabin baggage. The incident happened on July 26, 2025, before flight SG-386 to Delhi.
According to the airline, the officer was carrying over 16 kg of hand luggage – more than double the allowed 7 kg. When told to pay, he reportedly refused and forced his way through the aerobridge without completing the boarding process. CISF personnel brought him back, but what followed shocked everyone.

CISF Steps In, FIR Filed Against Army Officer
The Srinagar Airport viral video shows the officer hitting staff with an object. CISF personnel quickly intervened and restrained him. In a statement, CISF said, “The incident took place during the boarding of SpiceJet flight SG-386 over a baggage-related issue. Our personnel handled the situation and ensured no flight delay. Action has been taken.”
SpiceJet has filed a police complaint and asked that the officer be banned from flying. The airline also sent CCTV footage of the incident to the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
Strict Action Likely Under DGCA Rules
This assault could fall under Level 2 or Level 3 of the DGCA’s no-fly list rules. These include physical violence and serious threats to staff and can lead to bans from six months to two years or more. SpiceJet added, “We strongly condemn any act of violence against our employees and will take the matter to its full legal conclusion.”
The Srinagar Airport viral video has sparked outrage online. The safety of airline staff has been questioned.
