Controversies • In June 2020, he was suspended by AirAsia India after he made the statement that,
Air Asia is neglecting the safety measures which they have to take for the safety of their pilots, passengers, and the aircraft.”
A few days later, he uploaded a YouTube video on his channel related to his suspension. In the video, he said,
In order to achieve targets, what would people do? They will do Flap 3 landings without giving consideration whether it is safe or unsafe.. “This directly impacts the passenger safety. If something happens during a Flap 3 landing, then the question would be asked to the pilot if he or she cares more about saving fuel or 180 passengers.” [3]News 18• On 9 July 2022, the Noida police arrested him under sections 341 (punishment for wrongful restraint) and 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) after a large crowd of his fans gathered outside the metro station for his birthday; however, the police released him within a couple of hours.
