Mumbai: A day after midday wrote about a passenger aboard Boeing 737 Jet Airways flight jumping off the emergency exit door and walking out of the airport without being noticed, this passenger was finally arrested late on Saturday evening. The passenger Akash Jain has been booked under section 29 (acts likely to imperil the safety of aircraft) of the Indian Aircraft Act, 1937.
“After investigating about his background, we found out that Jain was supposed to board a connecting flight to Goa from Mumbai but instead, he walked out of the exit doors and took a bus to Pune. Today while he was on his way back from Pune, we arrested him at around 8.30.” said an officer from the Airport police station. He added that initial inquiry also shows how Jain, originally from Jalandhar, was jobless at present and had not informed his wife or other family members about his trip to Mumbai/Goa. “We caught him in a nakabandi between Vakola and Kalanagar when the Volvo he was returning in was made to stop. He seems to be a bit unstable,however the entire episode will be clear only once he is brought to the police station.” added the officer.
The said incident took place on Friday when a Chandigarh-Mumbai Jet Airways Boeing 737 flight carried 144 passengers and 5 crewmembers as it landed safely at the domestic terminal of Mumbai airport. With no patience to wait for people to make way to the exit door, Jain, jumped off the emergency exit door, placed right in the middle of the aircraft. This happened right after the aircraft came to standstill just meters away from the ‘Arrival’ terminal building.
