MUMBAI: An Indian worker returning home on a Doha-Mumbai IndiGo flight was arrested for smoking inside the lavatory on Sunday, reports V Narayan. Jerome Jessie (23), who triggered the mid-air scare while the plane was descending, was handed over to the police after landing.

In the complaint, an Indigo airline official said a cabin crew member rushed to the lavatory when the smoke alarm went off at around 2.30am. “We are trying to ascertain how he managed to carry the cigarette and match stick or lighter (which he seems to have flushed) on board,” said police.
