A 24-year-old passenger on a Doha-Mumbai Indigo flight created panic hours before landing at the Mumbai International Airport in the wee hours of Sunday. He was caught red-handed smoking in the toilet of the aircraft. Crew members got a beep alerting them and immediately got the passenger to open the door. After landing in Mumbai the passenger was handed over to the Sahar police, who arrested him. He was granted bail by the Bandra court.

The passenger was identified as Jesso T Jerome, a resident of Kollam in Kerala. He has been working in Doha as a forklift operator with a private company for the past one year. He had a connecting flight from Mumbai to Thiruvananthapuram.
