An Air India flight bound for Mumbai returned to Jaipur in Rajasthan shortly after take-off on Friday, after pilots suspected a technical fault in the aircraft, reported the IANS.

The flight, which departed Jaipur at 2:01 pm, was scheduled to land in Mumbai at 3:35 pm, but returned after being airborne for only 18 minutes.
