A British national, Arudchelvan Karnan, 25, was arrested for causing a 45-minute delay at Singapore's Changi Airport due to his drunken behaviour. On July 20, he allegedly harassed staff and passengers, using vulgarities and accusing others of racism. After being told to leave a Scoot flight, he allegedly pushed another female staff member, causing her to fall.
The police reported that his actions delayed the flight to Kuala Lumpur by 45 minutes. Charged with five offences, Karnan faces fines and potential imprisonment if convicted. His bail was set at $1,000, with his passport held by authorities. The case will be heard again on August 19.
