Another case of ‘urinating’ on a fellow passenger was reported last night when American Airlines landed at Delhi Airport around 9 p.m. The security officer on duty told ANI on Monday, “It was learned that an unruly passenger (Indian) arriving from New York by American Airlines Flight No. AA 292 in inebriated condition has argued with a co-passenger and urinated on him.”
The incident was reported to a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officer shortly after the plane landed at Delhi International Airport. Airport security took note and escorted the passenger to the airport police station.
“The said unruly pax along with complainant was taken to IGIA PS by concerned airlines security under the escort of CISF for further legal action,” an official said.
As per reports Delhi Police sources told ANI, “No official complaint has been lodged by the complainant yet.” American Airlines made no statement until the news was published.
American Airlines made no statement until the news was published. A similar incident occurred last month on an American Airlines flight from New York to New Delhi when a passenger was caught allegedly urinating on a US passenger in mid-flight. The airline also barred the passenger from flying on any of its future flights.
“We received a complaint from American Airlines stating that there is one accused identified as Arya Vohra, a resident of Delhi. They stated that he did not behave properly and created a nuisance and also urinated on the co-passenger. On the basis of the complaint, we are contemplating action under IPC and Civil Aviation Act. The strongest possible action will be taken against him to deter other flyers not to behave in this manner or doing any such activity in the future,” Devesh Kumar Mahla, DCP, IGI Airport earlier told ANI.
Earlier this year, on November 26, a man named Shankar Mishra allegedly urinated on a 70-year-old woman co-passenger in an inebriated state in business class of an Air India New York-New Delhi flight, but the incident was not reported to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), which was attributed to the airline crew’s delay in reporting the incident. Mishra was later arrested by the Delhi Police.
