Indian Airlines aircraft flew from Delhi to Mumbai 54 years ago. The Boeing 737 aircraft had 66 passengers. Some Kashmiri youth wanted to draw attention to the issue of Azad Kashmir. For this reason, he had decided to hijack Indian Airlines aircraft.
The ship commander BN Reddy and the co-pilot RS Yadav were driving. He was to stop at Jaipur and Aurangabad before Mumbai. Two people entered the cockpit as soon as take-off. He put a gun on Reddy's temple and set out to take the plane to Libya.
