An Air India plane heading to San Francisco had to make an emergency landing in Siberia on Tuesday.
A man whose mother was on the flight told Insider that they were left with no information and little food.
Air India passengers stranded in a remote Siberian town for two days were abandoned by the crew, had to sleep on the floor, and were only given bread and rice, a relative told Insider.
He said he tried to contact Air India multiple times to help his mother who was given no information on the ground.
In a letter sent to passengers, Air India apologized for the event and said it will fully refund the fare for the journey as well as provide customers with a travel voucher.
