New Delhi: It wasn't just a slap with a sandal as Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad bragged, but apparently a full-fledged assault on the Air India staffer on Flight AI 852.
An 80-second video of the incident which has emerged on social media shows Gaikwad assaulting Air India staffer Shivkumar even as crew members are heard pleading with him to stop.

"Let it be, there are already many cases against me," he snaps back when a stewardess warns him that he would end up being charged with murder as the assault would kill the 60-year old staffer.
The first part of the video purportedly shows him trying to push the AI staffer down from the plane which was parked on tarmac even as a voice is heard screaming, " No, no sir. don't do that sir, don't do that."
After he was restrained a stewardess tries to appeal to his better sense: "You are our representative, sir, you have worked hard to reach this place. We have elected you. Why are you doing like this." Gaikwad obviously was in no mood to calm down.
The victim Sukumar has accused the MP of assaulting him and breaking his glasses and an FIR has been filed in the case. The MP himself has publicly bragged about hitting him with a sandal.
This is not the first time the Sena MP from Osmanabad had been accused of getting on the wrong side of law. My Neta, the portal which provides criminal and financial background information on candidates, lists nearly a dozen charges, from culpable homicide to rioting to criminal intimidation that have been filed against him.
While the Shiv Sena has distanced itself from the act and ruling ally BJP has condemned it, Opposition leaders have demanded that he should be removed from Parliament.
"Parliament should raise the issue. Beating up a person does not fall under parliamentary privileges," said Congress leader Manish Tewari.
