Gaikwad who was traveling from Pune to Delhi on Thursday said he had paid for a business class ticket and was allocated an economy seat.
He then got into a scuffle with one of the crew members who told him that there were no business class seats available as they were all booked.
Gaikwad, who admitted slapping the AI staffer, however justified the act saying the latter misbehaved with him.
¡°Yes I hit him, he misbehaved with me. I had paid for a business class ticket. This is not the first time it has happened,¡± Gaikwad said.
