A plane was forced to divert and make an 'unscheduled' landing after an 'extremely pungent' smell started to come from the toilet.

The Spicejet flight from Bengaluru to Delhi in India had to be diverted to the city of Hyderabad after the smell was detected in the cockpit of the Boeing 737.

Over 180 passengers were on board the flight.

"SpiceJet aircraft, operating flight SG 192 from Bengaluru to Delhi, had to be diverted to Hyderabad due very foul smell from forward lavatory coming into the cockpit," a spokesperson for the airline told the The Hindustan Times.

The airline also said the toilet was thoroughly cleaned and ventilated, before taking off for Delhi an hour behind schedule.

It's not known what caused the smell.
