Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Wednesday said BJP MP Tejasvi Surya himself reported and apologised for the incident where he accidentally opened the emergency exit of an IndiGo plane last month.
The minister’s remarks come against the backdrop of Surya, the ruling BJP’s Bengaluru South MP, facing flak from Congress over the incident, which happened on December 10 last year at Chennai airport.
On Tuesday, IndiGo said a passenger accidentally opened the emergency exit of the plane after boarding at Chennai airport but did not disclose the identity of the person.
When asked about the incident, Scindia said it had happened on the ground.
