Bhupesh Baghel stranded in IndiGo flight due to door malfunction

An IndiGo flight at Raipur airport landed safely on Tuesday, but a stuck door left everyone—including ex-Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and Raipur's Mayor—waiting inside for about 30-40 minutes.
No one was hurt, but it definitely wasn't the smoothest end to their journey.

TL;DR

How the situation was handled

The plane's main door wouldn't open after landing, so airport staff and engineers had to jump in and fix it.
After some tense minutes, they managed to get everyone out safely, with no injuries or medical issues reported.

Plane to undergo full technical check

Officials say the plane will get a full technical check before flying again.
The incident is a reminder of how crucial quick fixes and reliable tech are when you're thousands of feet up—or even just stuck on the ground.
