"An Indian passenger attempted to open the emergency exit during a flight, and more information can be found in the details provided."

    During a flight from Guwahati to Agartala, a passenger seated near the emergency exit attempted to open it mid-air. Fortunately, quick action by another passenger and the flight crew prevented the attempt, despite the determined passenger's efforts. The incident occurred on an IndiGo flight with 180 passengers on board, identified as flight 6E-457.

    The passenger who attempted to open the emergency exit was eventually arrested despite efforts by flight attendants to stop him. Panic spread among passengers, leading them to restrain the individual. The passenger involved was identified as Biswajit Debnath, and initial investigations suggested that he was under the influence of narcotic tablets.

    IndiGo Airlines issued a statement characterizing the passenger as unruly and explained that they followed standard procedures, handing the passenger over to local authorities upon arrival. The airline assured that the flight's safety was not compromised and apologized for any inconvenience caused to other passengers. This incident is part of a recent trend of Indian passengers behaving disruptively on flights. Interestingly, it occurred just a day after another passenger on a Chennai-bound IndiGo flight attempted to open the emergency door, leading to their apprehension by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) upon arrival at Chennai airport.

    There have been several cases of sexual harassment on flights involving India. In a notable recent incident, a male passenger named Shankar Mishra was arrested and questioned for allegedly urinating on an elderly woman in her 70s during a flight from New York to New Delhi in November 2022. Air India, the flag carrier, filed a case and proposed adding the individual to the no-fly list in response to the incident.

    An intoxicated passenger allegedly exposed himself and urinated on an elderly woman seated in the aisle seat during the flight. The woman reported the incident to the cabin crew, but they did not detain the disruptive passenger. According to the victim, the passenger unzipped his pants and urinated on her, soaking her clothes and bag. Subsequently, an air hostess assisted the woman in cleaning herself in the airplane restroom.
