A bat causing panic among the passengers of an Indian plane, forcing it to return

An Indian Airlines plane left the airport in New Delhi early yesterday, on its way to New York airport in the United States as scheduled.

However, he did not want the flight to depart quietly or continue its way normally, after about half an hour, the plane was forced to return to Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, especially after the panic of the passengers on the plane.

As for the reason behind the panic experienced by the passengers on board the plane, according to "Sky News Arabia", it is not because of a technical defect or an emergency situation in the engines, but rather a "bat".

The bat was seen in the passenger cabin of an Air India Boeing 737, flying in turbulence inside the cabin.

As panic spread over the plane, the crew informed the pilot about the presence of the bat, who in turn notified the air traffic controller at the airport, as it declared a state of emergency backup.

Wildlife personnel were called in to arrest the bat and remove it from the cabin, according to the British newspaper, the Daily Mail.

Later, the bat was found dead in business class near Seat Eight, and the plane was then fumigated, according to officials of India's General Directorate of Civil Aviation.

Then the passengers took a different flight before the Indian Airlines flight arrived at New York Airport, US, later in the day.
