Air India has said that the plane will be fumigated and the presence of a rodent was being investigated.
Rats occasionally get on board aircraft along with catering and other supplies but can pose a serious technical
as well as a health hazard if they chew through wires.

It is not the first time a rat sighting has been reported on an Air India jet this year, with one of their aircraft
forced to return to New Delhi during a flight to Milan in July because of a rodent.
Earlier in December, an Air India technician was sucked into an aircraft engine and killed at Mumbai airport.

The attack came days after the Indian and Pakistani leaders, Narendra Modi and Nawaz Sharif,

Why did it turn back, just for the shake of a rat? Plane fuels cost thousands of dollars per flight... I'm so confused
