BJP MP Tejasvi Surya had allegedly opened the emergency exit of IndiGo aircraft without any authorisation at the Chennai Airport on December 10 last year. Tejasvi Surya is BJP MP from Bengaluru South Lok Sabha constituency. Congress alleges that BJP and the government tried to hide this information for so many days. Earlier, the airline in question-IndiGo- had refused to issue any statement on the incident. Later, the airline confirmed the incident saying, “A passenger travelling on Flight 6E 7339 from Chennai to Tiruchirapalli on December 10 accidentally opened the emergency exit during the boarding process. The passenger apologised for the action.”
