Bhopal: A police official confirmed that on Tuesday night, a chartered plane carrying Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi had to make a "emergency" landing at the Bhopal airport.
Ramji Awasthi, the director of the airport, insisted, "It was a priority landing and not an emergency landing." Bhopal's police commissioner, Harinarayan Chari Mishra, informed that the plane made an emergency landing at the Raja Bhoj airport.
A top Congressman blamed a technical issue for the unplanned landing, but he gave no further explanation.—Inputs from Agencies
