During a confrontation, the accused passenger urinated on his fellow traveller while intoxicated, according to government sources reported by news agency PTI on Monday.
The incident happened on board Airlines flight AA 292 and was reported by the airline to the Delhi airport before to the plane's landing. After the aircraft touched down at the IGI Airport on Sunday night at 9 o'clock, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) detained the "unruly" passenger.
An almost similar incident occurred on a New York-Delhi Air India flight on November 26, when a man named Shankar Mishra urinated on an elderly woman in a drunken state. After the event was covered in the media, a FIR was filed, and Mishra was taken into custody over a month later. He was released on bond after spending over a month in jail. Because Air India did not disclose the incident within 12 hours, the DGCA penalised them Rs. 30 lakh.
