We all know that it is almost always against the rules to smoke on a plane because it can be dangerous. But a man was caught on camera lighting up a cigarette inside a SpiceJet plane, which is against all rules and safety norms. In the video, a man named Bobby Kataria, who lives in Gurugram and is a fitness influencer on social media, is seen lying down on an aeroplane seat and lighting a cigarette. Even though the event happened a long time ago, the video has just come to light.

The video was filmed on January 23, 2022, while the influencer was on a SpiceJet flight from Dubai to New Delhi.

As the media said that Bureau of Civil Aviation Security confirmed that the video that is now going viral was from a long time ago and that Bobby was punished at that time.
