A passenger on an Air India flight travelling from Nagpur to Mumbai received a scorpion sting. The passenger received treatment and is currently safe, according to Air India, which confirmed the event that happened on April 23.

"On landing the said passenger was attended by the doctor at the airport and subsequently was treated at the hospital and discharged. Our officials accompanied the passenger to the hospital and offered all support to the passenger till discharge," AI spokesperson said. Upon receiving information of the incident, Air India's engineering team carried out a thorough inspection of the aircraft. “Our team followed the protocol and conducted a complete inspection of the aircraft and found the scorpion after which due fumigation process was carried out. We sincerely regret the agony and inconvenience caused to the passenger,” Air India said.
