Nagpur (August 22,2023) : An IndiGo flight from Mumbai to Ranchi made an emergency landing at Nagpur airport on Monday evening after a passenger vomited blood. The flight, 6E 5093, was carrying 186 passengers and crew. It landed safely at Nagpur airport at around 8:30 PM. The passenger, identified as Devanand Tiwari, was a 62-year-old man who was suffering from chronic kidney disease and tuberculosis. He was taken to a hospital in Nagpur, where he is being treated.

The cause of the passenger's illness is not yet known. However, it is possible that it was triggered by the stress of flying. The flight was delayed by about two hours due to the emergency landing.
