The passenger, who was a Nigerian national named Abdullahi, was declared dead on arrival by the airport medical team. The cause of his death is not yet known.
IndiGo airline, in a statement, said: “IndiGo flight 6E-1736, operating from Delhi to Doha, was diverted to Karachi due to a medical emergency on board.
