Chaos Erupts at Delhi Airport: Passenger's Outburst Over Baggage Delay Goes Viral
Viral Incident at Indira Gandhi International Airport
A video that has gone viral from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport is making waves on social media, but not for positive reasons. The clip shows a female passenger losing her composure due to a baggage delay attributed to a technical issue.
The footage starts with the woman in a heated exchange with airport personnel near the baggage claim, visibly upset about her luggage not arriving on time.
Witnesses reported that, despite other passengers waiting calmly, she had a dramatic reaction, toppling a heavy barricade. The loud crash of metal resonated throughout the terminal, prompting gasps from onlookers, many of whom began recording the scene.
Eyewitness accounts indicate that the woman was embroiled in a fierce dispute with both airline staff and a CISF officer, demanding her baggage be delivered immediately. Officials on-site explained that the delay was due to a technical glitch, which was beyond anyone's control. However, the woman reportedly refused to settle down, insisting on priority service.
Airport security and ground staff tried to calm her down, reminding her that aggressive behavior would only exacerbate the situation. Unfortunately, the incident had already escalated, both in the terminal and online, according to those present.
The viral video was shared with the caption: 'A scene of chaos unfolded at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal 3 earlier today after a female passenger lost her temper over a baggage delay caused by a reported technical glitch.' This incident quickly became a trending topic on the internet.

While the woman's identity has not been confirmed and no statements have been made by her, the video continues to spark discussions online.
