A passenger on an IndiGo flight from Delhi to Pune is booked after an alleged incident involving the emergency exit mechanism shortly after takeoff/arrival, prompting an alarm and a scare onboard. Police say the person interfered with the emergency exit door lever cover or attempted to open the emergency exit door, triggering concern among passengers and crew.
Outlets describe the episode as occurring on flight 6E6884, with reporting that it took place around Monday night/morning. Free Press Journal (FPJ) says the passenger told investigators he touched the cover out of curiosity to see what it was, and that a case is registered under provisions including section 125 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and related Aircraft Act provisions. Times of India frames the event as a complaint about trying to open the emergency exit door shortly after the flight landed in Pune and notes that only authorized crew members can operate such doors. India Today similarly reports the incident as a passenger tampering with the emergency exit mechanism and being booked.
While all accounts align on the core allegation—interference with the emergency exit and a police case—details differ on the exact timing (after takeoff versus after landing) and the specific action described (tampering with a lever cover versus trying to open the door).
