The man, identified as Biswajit Debath (41) of West Tripura’s Jirania, was immediately detained after the flight landed on, he said on Thursday.

“Around 1 pm on Thursday, an unruly passenger, apparently intoxicated, tried to open an emergency door mid-air. However, other passengers intervened and resisted the attempt. The plane landed safely at Agartala,” the official said.

The incident took place when the plane was flying 15 miles from the runway of Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport here, he said.
