Mumbai, Sep 6: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) will probe the alleged incident of IndiGo airlines forcing the passengers of its Jaipur-bound flight to sit in the stranded aircraft at Mumbai airport on Wednesday night.

Following heavy rains in the city, IndiGo's operations at the city airport were hit hard with the carrier cancelling many flights on Wednesday. As reported in TOI, a passenger told the publication, "My IndiGo flight was scheduled to take off for Jaipur at 7.55 pm on Wednesday night. It took off at 6 am on Thursday and landed in Jaipur at 8 am. I boarded the flight around midnight but all passengers remained seated in the aircraft till departure this morning. There was no dinner. Passengers came onto the tarmac and created a ruckus. Someone even called CISF (Central Industrial Security Force)," he added.
