An IndiGo Airlines flight (6E 6115) from Delhi to Chennai was forced to make an emergency landing in Hyderabad after a power bank in a passenger's bag caught fire in the overhead bin. The aircraft was carrying 180 passengers and 7 crew members at the time of the incident. Cabin crew successfully extinguished the fire, and no injuries were reported among those on board. Passengers were subsequently transferred to an alternative aircraft to reach their destination.
