The massive reptile, officials said, was a non-poisonous rat snake, which, they speculated, made its way into the plane while baggage was being off loaded from the flight upon arrival from Raipur.The incident took place on August 5. Journalist Tarun Shukla took to Twitter to share a video and a photo of the snake. “Perhaps the snake wanted an IndiGo flight as a belated 15th birthday offer yesterday. Thankfully taken away by the Kolkata forest department. But just look at the speed,” Shukla tweeted on August 6. IndiGo, which is headquartered in Gurugram, commenced operations on August 4, 2006.Meanwhile, passengers who were due to board the Mumbai-bound flight, were sent to their destination on another aircraft, the report said.Perhaps the snake wanted an @IndiGo6E flight as a belated 15th birthday offer yesterday.
