Mumbai: The Delhi-Mumbai Kingfisher flight landed at the Mumbai airport at about 7.30pm. After all the passengers alighted, the crew noticed that one man, Gurpreet Singh, 35, was still in the aircraft.
When the crew requested him to vacate the plane, Singh didn’t utter a word and refused to budge from his seat. The crew then called the duty manager, who realised that the man was mentally unstable. When the manger touched Singh’s hand, he realised that he (Singh) was also running a fever.
After much coaxing, Singh finally agreed to leave the aircraft. Suddenly he turned around and slapped the manager and tried to jump from the aerobridge. The manager with the help of other crew members managed to overpower him and handed him over to the CISF.
While the CISF personnel were escorting Singh to the Santa Cruz airport police station, he fainted. However, sources at the police station claim that he was only pretending. The drama lasted for about half an hour.
