Jodhpur: A passenger on an IndiGo flight from Jodhpur to Bengaluru opened the emergency exit just before take-off on Wednesday, causing a delay of about 20 minutes.
The flight, scheduled to depart at 10:10 am, had completed boarding when the incident occurred during the crew’s safety demonstration. The sudden opening of the emergency exit flap led to panic among passengers, prompting an immediate response from the crew.
The passenger, identified as Siraj Kidwai, an Axis Bank employee, was detained and handed over to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) for questioning. Kidwai reportedly claimed that he opened the flap accidentally.
IndiGo issued a statement confirming the incident, stating that the crew followed standard operating procedures, and the passenger was disembarked before the flight resumed operations.
Airport security and CISF officers are investigating the matter.

Bidar, July 26: The young woman who has accused BJP MLA Prabhu Chavan's son, Prateek Chavan, of cheating her with a false promise of marriage, has raised concerns over police inaction and sought the intervention of Karnataka Chief Minister.
Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, the Maharashtra-based woman alleged that despite filing a case days ago, Prateek has not been arrested. “I feel the police are not arresting him because he is the son of a powerful MLA. We are poor people and they are rich, so they are trying to crush us. The police have also filed a counter case against my family after I filed the complaint,” she said.
She urged Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to personally intervene. “We request the Chief Minister to call us and discuss this issue. I want justice. The law should be the same for everyone, regardless of who they are,” the woman added.
The complaint was lodged in connection with alleged cheating under the pretext of marriage.
