Was Lois Sophia arrested for calling BJP fascist?

Lois Sophia, an Indian scholar studying in Canada was allegedly arrested for shouting anti-BJP slogans. Congress and other opposition parties were quick to jump on conclusions without proper investigation and blamed BJP government for creating emergency like situation in the country.

The truth is that the girl was arrested for creating nuisance in an aircraft which is a crime under DGCA rules.

Section 1.1 of DGCA circular on handling unruly passengers says ‘Unlawful/disruptive behaviour on board the aircraft may interfere with the performance of duties of the crew members or hamper the ability of the crew members to perform those duties or jeopardize the safety of the aircraft /persons/ property on board/good order & discipline on board, cause discomfort to other passengers & crew members and may invite penal action in accordance with applicable regulations.’

Section 1.3 of DGCA circular says Unruly behaviour on-board aircraft has been declared as an offence and is a punishable act.
