Air passenger booked for opening emergency exit door during take off

A 40-year-old air passenger Furoqon Hussain, who was on an IndiGo flight from Hyderabad to the national capital on July 8, allegedly opened the cover of the emergency exit door of the aircraft during take-off, according to Delhi airport sources.

The incident happened on flight 6E 5605 and the individual was handed over to the security personnel after landing at the Delhi airport. An FIR has been filed against the individual.

The unruly behaviour of the flyer caused panic among other passengers, crew, and the pilot-in-command, the sources said.

The passenger was in seat 18A which was close to the emergency exit door. After the incident, the cover of the emergency exit was immediately restored, and the passenger was relocated to another seat in the aircraft, they added.

A query sent to IndiGo seeking comments on the incident remained unanswered.
