Shankar Mishra allegedly urinated on a 70-year-old woman on an New York-Delhi flight last year.
Shankar Mishra, who urinated on an elderly woman on an Air India flight, has been banned by the airline for four months. The incident, which stoked nationwide outrage, took place on a New York-Delhi flight on November 26.
Shankar Mishra allegedly urinated on a 70-year-old woman on the flight. He was arrested from Bengaluru last week, six weeks after his egregious act.
Air India had come under heavy criticism for not taking prompt action. Mishra walked away without any action when the flight landed in Delhi. The airlines filed a police complaint only on January 4, claiming it didn't go to the police as it felt both sides had "settled the matter".
In the court, Shankar Mishra claimed that the woman urinated on herself. The sacked banking executive denied that he had peed on the elderly woman during a flight.
