A man boarded a plane after consuming 'bhaang' and started opening the gate in the sky

The 29-year-old man had allegedly consumed 'bhaang' before boarding the flight. He also had an argument with the airline staff just before the plane landed at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport.

In a bizarre incident, a man allegedly tried to open the door of an IndiGo flight from Indore to Hyderabad while the flight was still in the air. According to reports, the plane was about to land in Hyderabad when the incident happened. Police say that the man had consumed excessive amounts of cannabis.

Police officials said the 29-year-old man had allegedly consumed 'bhaang' before boarding the flight. He also had an argument with airline staff just before the plane landed at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, they said.

The incident reportedly took place on May 21, but came to light on Friday (May 24). The airline staff filed a complaint against the man and he was arrested. According to reports, soon after the man boarded the flight in Indore, the crew noticed an abnormality in his behaviour. They then shifted the man to a different seat.

However, later the passenger insisted to sit with his friends with whom he had gone to Indore on a pilgrimage. The crew accepted his request and for some time the man sat quietly, but after a while, he again misbehaved with the co-passenger.

According to a Hyderabad airport spokesperson, during the journey, the man was roaming in the aisle of the plane even when the flight was in the air. The crew warned him to sit on his designated seat, but he did not pay much attention to it. After this, when the flight was about to land, he went to the door and tried to open it. The spokesperson said that the crew members and other passengers in the plane stopped him.

Police arrested the passenger

The man was identified as Anil Patil, a resident of Chandragirinagar, Gajularamaram in Hyderabad. He had gone to Ujjain on a pilgrimage with his friends. The police arrested the man as soon as the flight landed in Hyderabad. However, he was reportedly granted bail as he was suffering from some “health issues”. A medical report regarding his health was also submitted at the police station before he was released.
