Pointing some questions against BJP and the Civil Aviation Ministry, Congress said, “Why has the Ministry of Aviation not taken action on the incident even after a month of pranking on the plane? This is a punishable and serious case, why was it covered up? What is the compensation for the delay and loss of other passengers due to his mischief?"Sources at the Civil Aviation Ministry reacted to the matter on Wednesday and said that the emergency exit was accidentally opened while the flight was still on the ground. IndiGo airlines assured that the crew took note and subsequently, all appropriate action such as reinstalling of door, pressurization check etc were carried out before takeoff.

“What was the MP’s intention? What plans were there to create a disaster? Why was he transferred to the back seat after apologising?," the Congress asked, while questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi as to who would have been responsible for the disaster if this “prank" had been carried out after take-off.

Questioning whether the MP used his good offices to suppress this news, Congress MLA and KPCC’s Communications in-charge Priyank Kharge tweeted, “Why is Indigo so hesitant to name the passenger? Why didn’t they report to DGCA? Why is No Comments from the MP? BJP’s Tejasvi Surya allegedly opened emergency exit of IndiGo flight, flight delayed by 2 hours."
