Intelligence Bureau sleuths on Tuesday morning began questioning the 11-member crew of the American aircraft that was ordered to land in Mumbai.

The Air Traffic Control in Mumbai had on Monday evening ordered the pilot of the aircraft, a Boeing 757 owned by the Conco Corporation and registration number N610G, to land at Sahar airport as it did not have 'air defence clearance'.

The aircraft was flying from Karachi to Male

Government sources said the Indian Air Force had cleared the aircraft.
