M Mahesh, Airport police inspector said that they received a complaint from her on April 19 and booked a case under Section 323 and Section 506 of IPC and were investigating it. The video which was viral on social media, in which Esse said she was travelling on an Air India flight to Delhi was delayed by nine hours.

She went to the Air India help desk but the person standing there did not respond to her properly. “The lady at the desk who was supposed to help me was rude. At the end of the story she slapped me. I want to complain to the police, but that was not possible as the guy (police) who should take the complaint was not there. I feel violated,” she said in the video.

The Air India spokesperson denied the charges and said “The person (female employee) is an outsourcing employee. She did not slap her. That was a false allegation. Esse was filming the employee with her mobile phone, to which she (the employee) objected and tried to stop her. In the melee, her phone slipped from her hand, but did not fall on the ground,” the Air India official told PTI.
