• The consignment was reportedly on a Delhi–Patna route, with travel documents and a passport visible on top, triggering concerns over data exposure.
• IndiGo told NDTV it is considering changes to its labelling system and is holding internal discussions, expressing regret and saying the symbols guide ground staff.
