'Tandoori a**': Woman harasses Indian-American on flight, removed by airline
United Airlines airport shuttle bus after a confrontation with a family on November 24. Pervez Taufiq, a wedding photographer traveling with his wife and three sons from Cancun to Los Angeles, recorded the incident.
The dispute began on the flight, allegedly involving the woman and Taufiq’s son. The situation escalated on the shuttle bus. Video footage shows the woman saying to Taufiq: “Your family is from India, you have no respect, you have no rules, you think you can push everyone, push, push, push. That’s what you think you are. You guys are f****** crazy.” She also threatened to record his “f–king tandoori ass” after Taufiq referenced earlier comments she made about curry.
Taufiq posted the video on Instagram, stating the woman had harassed his son on the flight and told him to “shut up” on the bus. He said her husband then confronted him. Taufiq stated that United Airlines staff removed the woman from the bus after a bystander confirmed she initiated the incident.
Taufiq, who was born and raised in Boston, told the New York Post he was shocked by the event. The New York Post also reported that the initial interaction occurred during the flight when Taufiq checked on his 11-year-old son.
The Taufiqs, who photograph numerous events internationally, received support online. As of Sunday evening, United Airlines had not responded to requests for comment.
