An Indian man traveling from New York to Delhi on an American Airlines flight was caught at the airport here for urinating on his co-passenger. Official sources gave this information on Monday. According to the airline staff, the accused Indian passenger was under the influence of alcohol and urinated on his co-traveller during an argument, sources said. The incident took place on American Airlines flight number AA 292 and the accused passenger was apprehended by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) after the plane landed at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport at around 9 pm on Sunday.
Sources told ‘PTI-Bhasha’ that the airline reported the matter to the Delhi airport before the plane landed at the airport and both the passengers involved in the incident were later handed over to the Delhi Police. Sources said that the aggrieved passenger has lodged a formal complaint. In the recent past, incidents of passengers urinating on co-travellers after allegedly consuming alcohol have come to the fore.
Such incidents have happened before
On November 26 last year, an inebriated man allegedly urinated on his female co-passenger in the business class of Air India’s New York-Delhi flight. The said matter came to light in January and the Delhi Police arrested the person a few days later. Air India had imposed a travel ban on him for 30 days. The second such incident was reported on Air India Paris-New Delhi flight on December 6, 2022, when a passenger allegedly urinated on an empty seat and on the blanket of a fellow female co-traveller when she went to the toilet.
