Air India has confirmed that one of its flights from the US was forced to turn around last week after passengers trying to flush away plastic bags, rags and clothes clogged up most of its toilets. The plane, which was heading from Chicago to India's capital Delhi, spent several hours in the air before it returned to the US city.

Air India flight circled back to the United States allegedly due to clogged toilets, a viral video showing passengers trapped inside the plane is however fake.

A passenger spotted the note with the message There is a bomb in the flight written on it inside the toilet and alerted the crew, a Sahar police official here said.
