Drunk man urinates on female passenger on board in business class of Air India flight

NEW DELHI: A weird incident of a drunk man allegedly exposing himself and urinating on a woman passenger on board an Air India flight from New York to New Delhi has come to the fore after the victim wrote to Tata Group chairman N Chandrasekaran recalling her harrowing experience on the flight. She alleged that the cabin crew failed to intervene and let the accused go scot-free.

In her complaint, the victim said she alerted the cabin crew but the passenger walked scot-free after the flight landed in Delhi. She further alleged that the crew was not proactive in managing a very sensitive and traumatic situation.

As reported by TOI, which broke the story first, the incident took place on board AI-102. Shortly after the lunch was served and the lights were switched off, the man walked to the seat of the female passenger, unzipped his pants and urinated. He was completely drunk, the complaint said. After urinating, the man continued to expose his private parts, unmoved. He only moved when other passengers asked him to leave. The woman’s clothes, shoes, and bag got soaked in urine and the crew gave her a set of new clothes and put sheets on her urine-soaked seat.

According to agency reports, the Air India has lodged a police complaint and constituted an internal committee recommending putting the male passenger on a ‘no fly’ list.

The flight was on its way from JFK to New Delhi when the incident took place. An Air India official told news agency ANI the matter of putting the male passenger on the no-fly list is being considered by the government committee and a decision is awaited.

Director General of Civil Aviation has reportedly sought a report from Air India and will take action against those found negligent.
