Abeer Rizvi , One of the wives of "Salman Iftikhar" who threatened to gang rape an air hostess during a flight has appeared to defend her partner online.
In a post on her Insta profile "She begged people to 'be human' and understand the pain behind every person's story
Salman Iftikhar, a wealthy entrepreneur from Pakistan has been sentenced to 15 months in Jail.
He issued vile threats, directed at the cabin crew aboard a Virgin flight from London’s Heathrow Airport to Lahore, Pakistan:
Salman Iftikhar, 37, whose LinkedIn profile says he's the founder of Staffing Match recruitment, has been jailed for carrying out a sickening campaign of threats and abuse.
He was travelling with his wife and 3 children, was intoxicated. He threatened to rape a Virgin Atlantic flight attendant before blowing up her hotel room during a midair, first-class blowup. Incidence happened in flight on Feb. 7, 2023.
“Don’t tell me what to do, you racist f–king bitch. I know where you are from in Cardiff,” Iftikhar screamed during the flight, according to UK newspaper the Mirror.
The first-class meltdown began during the eight-hour flight’s first meal service.
The 37-year-old was downing champagne at the plane’s in-flight bar when he reached over the counter and began grabbing ice for himself using his hands, the Isleworth Crown Court heard, according to the outlet.
The intoxicated passenger, who was flying with his wife and three children, was confronted by the flight crew and told to return to his seat. Iftikhar turned hostile and accused the crew of being racist.
“You called me a p-ki in front of everybody,” the man yelled.
The irate passenger began filming the flight attendants. “Do not tell me what to do, you bitch,” Iftikhar shouts before threatening one female flight attendant.
The flight deck was notified of the meltdown and activated the seatbelt sign, in hopes the hotheaded businessman would follow orders.
Iftikhar blamed the seatbelt sign on the flight crew.
Onboard staff claimed Iftikhar was slurring his words during the outburst, becoming aggressive and asking people if they knew who he was, according to the outlet.
Iftikhar’s wife, at one point, walked to the food bar to talk with flight attendants but was pushed away by her husband, who ordered her not to talk to them.
