A female passenger on an IndiGo flight reported a disturbing privacy breach when a First Officer allegedly opened the locked lavatory door while she was inside, just before takeoff. The incident, which occurred on August 8, 2025, left her shaken and unsupported; cabin crew dismissed her concerns and directed her to address complaints inside the cockpit—raising safety concerns. IndiGo later responded with a formal email offering a partial ticket refund, vouchers, and additional staff training, but did not issue a direct apology. The episode has sparked criticism over airline response and privacy protocols.
