Bengaluru, Jan 21: Bengaluru south MP Tejasvi has declined to comment on the ongoing row over alleged opening of the emergency door of a plane last month.
Surya, also the BJP youth wing president, said he wishes not to spoil his time and others' on the issue, as authorised people have spoken on it.
"Already, Indigo airline officials, Union Minister for Civil Aviation (Jyotiraditya Scindia), my co-passenger and eye-witness Annamalai, chief of Tamil Nadu unit of the party, and two other passengers, have spoken of what exactly had happened, Surya told reporters here.
"I don't wish to spoil my time and your time because the Congress and others have been talking about it time and again. Certain people, authorised to issue appropriate clarification and tell the facts, have spoken. You can refer to that," said the MP.
Surya had reported that he accidentally opened the emergency exit of the IndiGo flight to Tiruchirappalli from Chennai in December 2022.

Saif Ali Khan attack case: Accused confesses theft as motive
Mumbai: The Bandra police recorded Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan’s statement regarding the housebreaking and stabbing incident at his residence, ‘Satguru Sharan.’
The accused, Shariful Islam (30), revealed during interrogation that his intention was theft, not harm. Islam, a Bangladeshi national, reportedly lost his job on December 15, which led him to commit the crime due to financial distress. Evidence, including a Bangladeshi voter ID and certificate, confirmed his nationality. The accused scaled a four-foot wall and used a pipe to reach the duct area of the building, eventually climbing to the 11th floor through the staircase and duct. He entered the house through a bathroom door near the children’s room.
The maids’ alarm caused him to attack Saif, after which the actor’s family mistook the situation for a gang robbery and moved to the upper floor. Islam fled the scene the same way he entered.
Post-incident, Saif was taken to Lilavati Hospital, while Kareena Kapoor Khan moved to her sister Karisma Kapoor’s house with their younger son, Jehangir. The police recovered tools, including a screwdriver, hammer, hacksaw blade, and a broken knife, from a bag discarded by the accused. Investigations revealed that Islam attempted to alter his appearance by visiting a salon in Worli after the incident. The police also questioned the salon owner and an autorickshaw driver who assisted Saif. CCTV footage from the 6th floor of the building confirmed the accused’s entry, though no cameras were installed near the actor’s flats or terrace.
The Bandra police examined nearly 700 CCTV footages across various locations, including Bandra, Khar, Dadar, and Worli, as part of the investigation, which is now in its final stage. The accused has requested deportation to Bangladesh.
