Indian airlines ban comedian for rant

Four Indian airlines have banned a top stand-up comic over a mid-air confrontation with a star political television presenter that has become an internet sensation. Kunal Kamra was banned for six months by Indigo -- the airline carrying him during the incident -- while Air India, GoAir and Spice Jet barred the outspoken comic "until further notice". Kamra said that when he saw Arnab Goswami on the Mumbai-Lucknow flight, he "politely asked" to have a conversation but the presenter "pretended to be on a phone call".
