IndiGo offered ₹6,000 bribe to remove complaint on X, says podcaster Prakhar Gupta

Prakhar Gupta, a well-known podcaster, has publicly accused IndiGo of offering him a bribe of ₹6,000 to delete his X post criticising the airline for a flight preponement issue.

In an X post, Prakhar Gupta claimed that IndiGo unexpectedly moved his flight time, closed their check-in counters, and ultimately forced him to purchase a new ticket.

“Dear @IndiGo6E How do you change a flight time and PREPONE it, 2.5 hours before the flight at 4 AM in the morning, expect me to make it on time, and then when I do get there 5 minutes behind on the NEW TIME , you do not let me check in my bag and make me pay for a new flight?" Prakhar Gupta said.
