Indian Minister, Passengers Unhurt After Plane Engine Catches Fire

Passengers Deplane Before Incident

A Jet Airways plane carrying Indian Minister Shriprakash Jaiswal and others from New Delhi to Varanasi developed a fire in one of its engines shortly after landing and all aboard had deplaned at Lal Bahadul Shastri Airport, reported the Times of India.

Jaiswal is the Union Minister for the State for Home.

The incident occurred at 12:14 pm local time, airport officials said.

Central Industrial Security Force personnel, India's police force, surrounded the aircraft and with the help of two fire engines, doused the flames within seven minutes.

Jaiswal later left for Ghazipur district to support local Congressional candidates.

A team of engineers repaired the engine of the plane, which left for Khajuraho at 12:58 pm.

Jet Airways manager Anirudh Kumar Singh said the fire in the engine due to "heating."
