AIR INDIA PEEING INCIDENTS

Two back-to-back incidents that happened on Air India flights have been making the headlines recently. In the first case, a drunk passenger on an Air India flight from New York to Delhi urinated on a female passenger.

The inebriated man walked over to the victim’s seat just after lunch when the lights were turned off. He then unzipped his pants and flashed his private parts to her. He reportedly stood there even after urinating, until one of his co-passengers asked him to leave.

He was also fired from his company, Wells Fargo, following the incident. Air India also imposed a 30-day travel ban on Mishra and an internal probe has been initiated to investigate if there were lapses in handling the situation by the crew.

A few days later after the first incident surfaced, a drunk man allegedly urinated on the blanket of a female passenger on a Paris-Delhi Air India flight. The man was apprehended by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) as soon as he deboarded the plane but was later allowed to leave after the two passengers had a “mutual compromise” and the accused tendered a “written apology”.
