An IndiGo flight from Indore to Raipur became an unsettling experience for 51 passengers on Tuesday when it developed a technical fault and made an emergency landing shortly after takeoff.

The aircraft, typically scheduled to depart at 6:35 a.m., left seven minutes early at 6:28 a.m. from Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport.

As news of the encounter reached his home, Vikas’s family members rushed to the spot, creating a scene and accusing the police of killing an innocent person.

His mother claimed that although there were two to four cases against Vikas, he was working in Chennai and had returned home recently.
