In another bizarre incident, passengers on an Air India plane allegedly manhandled the cabin crew and threatened the pilots to open the cockpit door after the Delhi-Mumbai flight was delayed due to a technical glitch.

According to NDTV, an airline official said, “The flight got delayed due to a technical snag on Thursday. It had to return to the bay. Passengers started knocking on the cockpit door, asking and taunting the pilots to come out.”

He also said, "One passenger even said that he will break open the cockpit door if the pilots didn't come out and the situation inside the plane went from bad to worse".
