A 30-year-old Kanpur passenger on an Indigo flight from Delhi to Bengaluru was arrested on Saturday for attempting to open the emergency exit mid-flight, police said. Pratheek, from Patrakarpuram in Kanpur, was travelling by flight 6E-308 on Friday. He was inebriated and sitting in a chair. According to a police officer, a case was opened after a crew member, Tejaswi Shah, filed a complaint under sections 290 and 336 of the IPC and 11(A) of the Aircraft Act.18F.
Indigo Airlines said in a statement that a passenger on flight 6E 308 from Delhi to Bengaluru tried to open the emergency exit flap while inebriated.
