Flight Attendant Suffers Broken Tooth, Nosebleed in Shocking Attack
ISLAMABAD:
A shocking display of power and privilege unfolded aboard a private airline flight from Quetta to Islamabad when the daughter of former Quetta Commissioner Iftikhar Jogezai allegedly assaulted a female flight attendant. The incident, which resulted in the flight attendant suffering a broken tooth and nosebleed, has sparked outrage on social media.
Unruly Behavior Before Takeoff
Eyewitness reports indicate that Iftikhar Jogezai and his daughter, Saima Jogezai, displayed aggressive behavior even before boarding the flight. The father-daughter duo reportedly misbehaved with airline staff during check-in at Quetta Airport, raising concerns among passengers and crew.
The situation escalated once they were on board. When the cabin crew instructed Saima to fasten her seatbelt before takeoff, she allegedly refused and responded with verbal abuse. The heated exchange caught the attention of other passengers, who were visibly uncomfortable with the confrontation.
Physical Assault in Mid-Air
As tensions rose, the flight crew alerted the captain, who immediately sought assistance from the Airport Security Force (ASF). Concerned for the safety of passengers and crew, the captain made the decision to offload both Iftikhar and Saima Jogezai from the flight before departure.
However, Saima reportedly refused to leave and, in a fit of rage, physically attacked a female flight attendant. Witnesses claim that she punched the air hostess, causing her nose to bleed and breaking one of her teeth. The violent outburst left passengers and crew members in shock.
ASF Intervention and Detainment
Following the assault, ASF personnel promptly intervened and detained both the ex-commissioner’s daughter and her father. They were taken into custody for further investigation. Authorities are now reviewing the incident, and legal action is expected to follow.
Public Outrage and Social Media Backlash
The assault has sparked widespread condemnation, with many social media users demanding strict action against Saima Jogezai. The viral footage of the incident has intensified calls for accountability, as netizens criticize the abuse of power and entitlement often displayed by influential individuals.
Legal Consequences Await?
While the airline has yet to issue an official statement, legal experts believe that Saima Jogezai could face serious charges, including assault and endangering flight crew safety. Aviation authorities may also impose travel restrictions on her.
This incident serves as a stark reminder that no one, regardless of their background, is above the law. The aviation industry has stringent rules to ensure passenger and crew safety, and violating those rules can lead to severe legal repercussions.
