Mangaluru: Miscreants cancelled the air tickets booked in the Air India Express flight of a Mangaluru based youth working in Muscat after he flaunted it on social media, bragging about his visit to India to cast his vote in the coming Lok Sabha elections.

The youth, Joyston Lobo belongs to Puttur and has been working in Muscat for the last one year. He had booked air tickets to India combining his annual leave so that he could return home to vote in the Lok Sabha elections.

He had posted a video supporting a particular party candidate and had shown his air ticket thinking that he would be inspiring others to vote. However, within one hour of uploading the video, he received a message that his ticket was cancelled. He lost money when he rebooked the air tickets.

Joyston said that he was sharing his ordeal to caution people who boast online about their travel plans, adding that his actions cost him Rs 20,000.

It is a known fact that any person can log in to the website of the airline and cancel a ticket if they have the passenger’s PNR number and last name. There is a large number of people who post pictures of their air tickets to convey that they are travelling. Joyston’s experience comes as a lesson for all.
