On January 24, the incident happened on an IndiGo flight from Nagpur to Mumbai. An FIR was made against the passenger by the authorities.
According to IndiGo, a passenger on Flight 6E 5274 from Nagpur to Mumbai allegedly tried to open the emergency escape cover when the plane was in the air and preparing to land. This was reported by news agency ANI.
