Event Summary

A passenger, Mohammad Adnan, on an IndiGo flight from Bengaluru to Varanasi, attempted to open the emergency exit door twice during the journey. The first attempt occurred 15 minutes into the flight, and the second happened moments before landing when the aircraft was 500 feet in the air. The pilot of IndiGo flight 6E-185 aborted the landing and performed a go-around to ensure safety. Mohammad Adnan was subsequently handed over to IndiGo's security personnel and the India — Central Industrial Security Force at Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport. A case was registered against him, and during questioning, he claimed to be 'possessed by a ghost' or unaware that the handle operated the emergency exit.
