A drunk passenger on board an Indigo flight from Delhi to Bengaluru was detained for questioning in Bengaluru on Friday, for trying to open the flap of an emergency door in the aircraft in flight.
Police said a case has been registered but no arrest has been made.
The airline said the passenger’s action did not compromise the flight’s safe operation. The passenger has been identified as R Pratheek, 30, a native of Nawabganj in Kanpur. He was handed over to Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel by the flight crew on arrival at the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA). The flight, which took off from Delhi at 7.56 am, landed at KIA at 10.43 am.
