In an Air India flight, recently a shocking incident of a drunk man unrinating on a woman, came into light.
According to sources, a drunk man had reportedly walked off scot free after urinated on a female passenger aboard an Air India flight, travelling from New York to Delhi. Although the incident occurred on the 26th of November, 2022, it came into light recently, with criticism from netizens and the Directir General of Civil Aviation.
On the 4th of January, Wednesday, the DCGA wrote to the Air India and sought a detailed report of the incident happened in November.
Getting into the details, Air India flight AI 102, which departed New York-JFK airport around 1pm, local time had an inebriated male passenger. He allegedly exposed himself and peed on the female passenger, who was a senior citizen in her seventies, who was seated in the aisle seat of the flight’s business class.
Immediately after the incident, the woman alerted the cabin crew, but they did not apprehend the unruly passenger, who later walked off scot free after the flight landed in Delhi.
However, recently the woman who was the victim of the drunk man wrote a letter to Mr. N. Chandrasekaran, the Chairman of the Tata Group regarding the incident. In the letter, the woman mentioned, “The crew was not proactive in managing a very sensitive and traumatic situation, and I had to advocate for myself throughout, waiting for long periods of time to get a response. I am …distressed that the airline made no attempt to ensure my safety or comfort during this incident.” She further said, “Shortly after lunch was served and the lights were switched off, …another passenger walked to my seat, completely inebriated. He unzipped his pants, relieved himself and continued to expose me to his private parts.”
The woman further wrote that even after he was done urinating, the man continued to stand there, exposing himself, and moved only after one of her co passengers asked him to leave. Lashing out at the Air India Cabin Crew present in the flight, the woman said, “My clothes, shoes and bag were completely soaked in urine. The stewardess followed me to the seat, verified that it smelled of urine, and sprayed disinfectant on my bag and shoes…” She added, “Although the staff had put sheets on top, the area was still reeking of urine.”
Giving details of the incident, the woman said, “Clearly the crew did not feel that taking care of a distressed passenger was a priority. At the end of the flight, the staff told me they would get me a wheelchair to ensure that I clear customs as early as possible. However, the wheelchair deposited me at a waiting area, where I waited for 30 minutes, and nobody came to get me. I finally had to clear customs on my own and collect the luggage by myself — all in Air India pyjamas and socks.”
After the incident drew criticism for Air India, the airlines issued a statement in this regard. The statement read, “Air India has reported the incident to police and regulatory authorities. We have been in regular contact with the aggrieved passenger.”
Moreover, the Air India also urged to put the male passenger on no fly list, which is being considered by the government committee and a decision is awaited.
In addition, Air India has lodged a police complaint regarding the incident that took place on the 26th of November.
The investigation into the matter is underway.
