A man says he was forced to hack into a domestic Indian airline's website to find his missing luggage.

Nandan Kumar, 28, called IndiGo - a low-cost carrier - for help, after realising that he had swapped his bag with a co-passenger.

But after IndiGo refused to help him trace the other person, Mr Kumar said he was able to retrieve information about him from the airline website.

IndiGo told the BBC that "at no point was the IndiGo website compromised".

Mr Kumar says he's not a professional hacker, but had to "do something" to retrieve his luggage.

In a series of tweets, Mr Kumar, a software engineer, said by the time he got to the airport luggage belt, a co-passenger had taken his bag and left.
