After public outrage, Air India has banned for 30 days an inebriated male passenger who urinated over a senior citizen woman passenger seated in the business class section on a flight from John F Kennedy International Airport in New York to Delhi.
Shockingly, the said passenger walked scot-free after the flight landed in Delhi despite his obnoxious behaviour and the crew made no efforts to rope in the police to have him detained.
Now, two months after the shocking incident, the Delhi Police has registered a case on a complaint by Air India. The National Commission for Women (NCW) has asked the Chairman, Air India to intervene in the matter and sought a detailed action taken report in the next seven days.
The incident happened on Air India flight AI-102 from New York to Delhi two month back on November 26. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has sought a report of the incident from the airline in the matter.
After banning the passenger in question for 30 days, the airline has constituted an internal committee to probe lapses on part of its crew and “address the deficiencies that delayed quick redressal of the situation.”
According to police, based on the complaint of the victim given to Air India, a case has been registered against the man.
