'Even Baba Ramdev can't...': Pics of IndiGo plane on Twitter amid Tejasvi row

Tamil Nadu Congress leader Mohan Kumaramangalam shared a representative photo of the IndiGo ATR in which Tejasvi Surya travelled and said even Baba Ramdev can't rest his hand accidentally on the lever of the emergency exit.

South Bengaluru MP Tejasvi Surya 'accidentally' opened the emergency exit of an IndiGo flight during the boarding process on January 10. The incident reported on Tuesday has triggered a massive row with the Congress raising many questions over how it happened and why the incident did not come to light immediately. The airline said it happened by mistake and the flight took off only after all checks were done. Read | 'BJP VIP Brats': Opposition reacts after reports claim Surya opened IndiGo flight exit door

A major row has erupted after South Bengaluru MP Tejasvi Surya opened the emergency exit of a plane when it was boarding passengers.

Meanwhile, social media users are sharing photos and videos of the emergency exits asking how one can open the emergency exit door by mistake. A demo video of IndiGo's ATR 72 showing how to open the emergency exit is doing the rounds. In the video, the demonstrators pull the top portion of the gate marked as 'Pull to open' to fully open the emergency exit door.

Apart from the demo video, the photo of the IndiGo ATR 72 is also going viral. In the photo, it can be seen the red button to open the emergency exit is above the window. Tejasvi was on the window seat.

Tamil Nadu Congress leader Mohan Kumaramangalam shared the photos and the videos of the emergency exit and said even Baba Ramdev can't rest his hand on the level while staying seated 'accidentally' or purposely.

As the Congress turned the heat on the BJP over this issue, civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia acknowledged the incident and said the passenger himself reported the incident and apologised.
