Airliner flies with gear down, diverts due to low fuel
Air India has grounded two pilots who forgot to retract aircraft landing gear after take off and then flew all the way from Kolkata to Nagpur with the wheels out. While the flight's destination was Mumbai, flying with the wheels out meant flying low and more fuel burn due to which the plane had to land at Nagpur after running low on fuel.

In my dear "Incredible India" everything and anything is possible to accomplish "Mission cover-up"
