Digital Desk: A youth from Assam's Cachar district has gone missing after a video of him being assaulted by a co-passenger on a Mumbai-Kolkata IndiGo flight has gone viral on social media.


Hossain Ahmed Mazumdar, a permanent resident of Katigorah in Cachar, was slapped by a fellow passenger aboard an IndiGo flight.


Hossain, who worked at a gym in Mumbai, was travelling to his hometown when the incident took place.


In the video, he was seen escorted by flight attendants when a fellow passenger slapped him, leading to immediate protests from other passengers and crew members.
