Reports indicate that a man in his 30s, seated next to the emergency exit door, was arrested following the incident. The individual opened the door when the aircraft was only a few hundred meters from the ground. However, the motive behind his actions remains unknown at this time.
Quoting Witnesses user aviation news tracker @aviationbrk wrote “Witnesses say the suspect attempted to jump out after opening the door. Flight attendants shouted for help from male passengers and people all around clung to him and pulled him in. Police said he was not drunk at the time of detention, but remained silent about why he did so.”
Following the incident, nine passengers, including eight children, were taken to a nearby hospital due to breathing issues. Additionally, several individuals seated in the same row as the opened door reportedly fainted, one after another, reported @aviationbrk
Tejasvi Surya embroiled in hilarious memefest as Twitter users flood His mentions
Meanwhile, it is worth noting that this incident is distinct from the accidental unlatching of the emergency exit door by BJP MP Tejasvi Surya, and twitter users have taken this instance to take a dig at the Bengaluru South MP who had allegedly opened the emergency door of an indigo aircraft in chennai in december 2022.
Following the incident, he had apologized and the country’s aviation regulator had also held him not guilty and cited it was accidental and was not a violation of the code of conduct.
Mocking Surya, former NDTV journalist Nidhi Razdan humorously asked, "Was the passenger from Bangalore?"

Maharashtra excise dept cancels liquor permit for Diljit Dosanjh's Pune concert
Pune, Nov 24: The Maharashtra excise department on Sunday cancelled the permit for serving alcohol at actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh's concert in the Kothrud area of Pune later in the evening, an official said.
The department cancelled the permit after people from different quarters, including Kothrud's newly elected BJP MLA Chandrakant Patil, objected to plans to serve liquor at the programme.
State excise commissioner C Rajput said, "The state excise department has cancelled the permission to serve liquor during the programme."
MLA Patil raised an objection against the concert scheduled at Kakade Farm in Kothrud later in the evening.
The BJP leader, in a statement, said, "Such shows are not part of the city's culture. This will create a major disturbance for residents of the area. The event will also cause traffic jams. Hence, I have urged the city police commissioner to cancel the programme."
