Bobby Kataria, an Instagram influencer whose video of smoking inside an aircraft went viral, was arrested by the Delhi Police and was released after a local court granted him bail.
Mr Kataria, who has over 6.30 lakh followers on Instagram, lit the cigarette inside a SpiceJet aircraft in January this year, drawing criticism over the behaviour that posed serious risk of fire inside the pressurised cabin.
The police had been looking for him after a case was filed after the incident in January. SpiceJet legal manager Jasbir Singh filed a fresh police case against Mr Kataria in August, after which a local court told the Instagram influencer to join the police investigation.
Mr Kataria eventually went to the police on Tuesday. They took him into custody for the night after he refused to cooperate in the investigation, the police said. The next day the local court granted him bail.
