A case has been registered against a 38-year-old man after he smoked inside the lavatory of a Mumbai-bound flight from Delhi, police reported on Friday.

The incident unfolded on Wednesday evening on an IndiGo flight, departing from Delhi at around 5.15 pm with 176 passengers onboard. Approximately 50 minutes before the plane reached Mumbai, a passenger identified as Khalil Kajammul Khan from Uttar Pradesh, was discovered smoking in the toilet.
