- Bholanath Pandey and Devendra Pandey on December 20, 1978 hijacked Indian Airlines Flight 410, en-route on a domestic flight from Calcutta to Lucknow, and forced it land at Varanasi. They demanded the release of Indira Gandhi (who had been arrested after The Emergency) and the withdrawal of all the cases against her son Sanjay Gandhi. They carried only toy weapons. After keeping 130 passengers and crew hostage in the Boeing 737-200 for some hours, they surrendered in the presence of media. The Indian National Congress party rewarded them with party tickets for the 1980 state assembly election; both won the election and became members of the legislative assembly of Uttar Pradesh. Bhola served as a Congress MLA from 1980 to 1985 and 1989 to 1991 from Ballia and Devendra remained a member of the house for two terms. Devendra resigned from the party as a general secretary of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee. Bhola Pandey also became general secretary of the Indian Youth Congress and secretary of the Indian National Congress. Bhola Pandey unsuccessfully contested the 1991, 1996, 1999, 2004, 2009 and 2014 Lok Sabha elections from Salempur as a Congress candidate. Devendra never served the party as a general secretary ever again of Uttar Pradesh. (en)
