Guwahati: An intoxicated man peed on a senior citizen female co-passenger who was sitting in a business class seat on an Air India US aircraft.
The airline has been asked to provide a report on the incident by the nation’s aviation watchdog, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
“We are seeking a report from the Airline and shall take action against those found negligent,” the DGCA said on Wednesday.
Air India has filed a police report regarding the incident that happened on November 26 when the flight was travelling from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to Delhi.
An Air India official said, “Air India has lodged a police complaint regarding the incident which took place on November 26 when the flight was on its way from JFK to Delhi.”
The male passenger should be added to a “no-fly list,” according to a recommendation made by an internal committee that Air India formed in the wake of the incident, the official said.
A government-appointed committee has been tasked with investigating the situation and a decision is pending.
