The panel will decide whether to suspend Gaikwad for allegedly hitting an AI staffer with his slippers over seat issue on Thursday.
The Sena leader was banned by AI and other top airlines with ‘immediate effect’ on Friday and he boarded a train to Mumbai later in the evening. He boarded the August Kranti Rajdhani from Nizamuddin railway station in New Delhi.
Meanwhile, an FIR has also been registered against him by AI for repeatedly hitting their 62-old-year staffer that broke the victim’s spectacles.
Gaikwad, when asked about the brazen assault on the staffer on Friday, refused to owe any apology to the victim.
"I will not apologise, he (Air India staff) must come to me and apologise,” Gaikwad said.
