A Cope MP who was part of parliamentary delegation visiting India, Dirk Benjamin Feldman, has been sent back home. Parliament says in a statement that Feldman was ordered back home following an incident aboard an SAA flight on Saturday. He was briefly detained by Indian security upon arrival at Mumbai Airport, but was subsequently released and allowed to proceed with the delegation to Delhi.

“They detained him for a few hours at the airport and then released him.”

SAA’s head of internal flight services, Martin Kemp, said such incidents occurred infrequently.
