Such unruly conduct on flights is not new to the airlines, as In a shocking incident earlier in July this year, aboard an IndiGo flight from Hyderabad to Delhi on July 8, a 40-year-old passenger identified as Furoqon Hussain allegedly attempted to open the emergency exit door during takeoff. The incident, which caused panic among passengers, crew members, and the pilot-in-command, was swiftly dealt with by airport authorities upon landing at Delhi airport.
