According to the police, the Ayurvedic doctor was booked on the Air India Express flight, IX2749. However, she skipped the check-in counter, insisting on taking both her bags on board. However, the situation escalated after Vyas left one of her bags near the crew cabin and took the other to her seat, 20F. Additionally, when the crew asked her to keep the bag in the overhead compartment near her seat, she refused, insisting that they keep it with them.

Given the threat, the captain alerted the security and called CISF personnel, who boarded the aircraft and offloaded her.
