Man assaulted by off-duty Air India Express pilot at Delhi airport suffers nasal fracture

The complainant said he is now seeking justice in the matter.

Dewan reportedly said he has submitted a written complaint to the Delhi Police and learned through media reports that an FIR has been filed.

"I have nothing more to add at this stage. To know what happened, kindly refer to my X posts. Currently, I cannot comment further as I have sent a written complaint to the Delhi Police for necessary action, and understand from media reports an FIR has been registered. I am right now focusing on my health, and a CT scan today showed a "displaced fracture of left nasal bone". I hope I get justice in the matter," Ankit Dewan told news agency ANI.

The Delhi Police on Monday said based on Dewan's complaint received via email, a case has been registered under sections 115 (voluntarily causing hurt), 126 (wrongful restraint) and 351 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023. An investigation is underway, they said.
