New Delhi: A chartered flight with Congress president Rahul Gandhi on board and which was en route to Patna was forced to return to Delhi on Friday due to a technical snag, prompting aviation regulator the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to launch a probe into the matter.
Mr Gandhi wrote on Twitter that the plane returned after experiencing “engine trouble” and also posted a video of the flight which shows him, the pilot and the co-pilot in the plane. “Engine trouble on our flight to Patna today! We’ve been forced to return to Delhi,” Mr Gandhi tweeted.
“Today’s meetings in Samastipur (Bihar), Bala-sore (Orissa) & Sangamn-er (Maharashtra) will run late. Apologies for the inconvenience,” he said.
