While exclusively speaking to ANI, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Airport Tanu Sharma said that Kataria has been on the run since the case was registered against him.

The video surfaced back in August, where Kataria can be seen smoking a cigarette during the flight. However, the video was said to have been shot in January. The police is tracking him since then.
Following the complaint by the airline manager, Kataria was booked by Delhi Police under section 3(1)(C) of the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against Safety of Civil Aviation Act, 1982.
