Patna airport police on Sunday arrested two drunk 🐟passengers with help of the Cent🌞ral Industrial Security Force (CISF) for consuming alcohol on a domestic flight, which was a clear violation of rules. 

According to sources, both the passengers were already drunk when they boarded the flight from ▨Delhi, and tried to co❀ntinue drinking in the flight.

It hasbeen reported that th⛦ere was no ruckus onboard as t🌃he two accused stopped and apologised when a crew member intervened.

Following the standard protocol, the airline informed the Air Traffic Control🅺ler, and they were arrested on arriꦫval.

Before handing them 💃over to the airport police, the CISF took them into cust♉ody.

Civil aviation regulator Directorate 🐠General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) have said this raises serious questions o👍n the role of the CISF.

"How did these men get♌ in with beer cans?"; they said.

This comes days after the arrest of Shankar Mishra, the Mumbai man who urinated on a woman on an Air India New York-Delhi flight while drunk last month, created a huge uproar over the six-week delay in action against him.
