The pilot noticed a snag in the flap drive located under the wings of Boeing 747-400 while it was flying over Karachi after which he wanted to turn back but given the poor visibility due to the heavy and torrential rains in Mumbai city and especially near and around at the Mumbai airport he was asked to divert the flight to Delhi.
