To address the situation, the flight scheduled for Jaipur at 3 pm was redirected to accommodate the stranded Bengaluru passengers. Consequently, even the Jaipur-bound passengers experienced a delay. Frustrated by the ordeal, the passengers expressed their discontent and staged a protest against the airline at gate number 4. In response, CISF personnel detained three individuals involved in the protest.
