The first flight, after the long hiatus, IndiGo 6E1703, carrying 176 passengers, took off from Kolkata's airport to Guangzhou Baiyun International airport.
The passenger allegedly demanded that the crew allow him to leave the aircraft so that he could smoke. When denied, he began asking fellow passengers to chant 'Har Har Mahadev.'
The airline did not disclose the specific nature of the snag, but said passengers were provided assistance upon landing and an alternative aircraft was arranged.
IndiGo spokesperson said flight was cancelled for the day to carry out proper maintenance of the aircraft. Tuesday's Indore to Raipur flight also faced mid-air issue, and had to land abruptly.
Passengers aboard the Delhi-bound flight were deplaned, and an investigation is underway. Preliminary checks have not found anything suspicious so far, officials say.
