“The woman was seated in 1J. Two quarter bottles of red wine later, she went to the lavatory in the economy class. She emerged in a cloud of smoke... but the smoke alarm didn’t set off,” a source told TOI.

The passenger turned unruly after she finished two more quarter bottles of wine and she also lashed out at the other business class passengers for being mute witnesses, the report said.

“The captain issued her a warning letter, which she read out loud to other passengers. She then came to the gallery and spat in the face of a crew member, before twisting her arm and injuring her,” the report quoted a source as saying.

The passenger’s identity was not known at the time of writing this report.
