A man, arrested in connection with hijack scare onboard an Indigo aircraft, was on Monday remanded to 14-days judicial custody by a Delhi court.
Three passengers - Jitendra Kumar, Samir Uppal and Harpreet - were taken into custody for questioning after their behaviour aroused suspicions inside a Indigo aircraft yesterday.
The accused has been booked under Section 336 (Act endangering life and personal safety of others) and Section 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) of Indian Penal Code and Suppression of Unlawful Act Against Safety Of Civil Aviation Act, 1982.
However, two persons including a woman were today released by police after questioning. An Airbus A 320 aircraft (Flight 6E 334) of air carrier Indigo was carrying 163 passengers flight from Goa to Delhi when it made an emergency landing at the IGI airport here yesterday after the pilot reported to the Air Traffic Control that a 'couple' of passengers were behaving aggressively and had made a hijack threat.
Emergency drill was in place immediately and the aircraft was taken to the isolation bay at the airport. The threat was made about 15 minutes before the aircraft was due to land.
