The incident took place on a flight that departed from Sylhet for London, with the confrontation occurring during the journey. A video of the incident later surfaced on social media and went viral.

Two male passengers initially became involved in a heated verbal argument over what was described as a trivial matter. The dispute then escalated into a physical confrontation, with the two men seen exchanging blows inside the aircraft.
