In another ‘peegate’ scandal, an Indian passenger was accused of urinating on a fellow passenger on a New York-Delhi flight.
On Saturday night, the accused, Aryan Vohra, was caught urinating on a US passenger mid-flight on an American Airlines flight.
According to the details, the 21-year-old student from the United States was under the influence of alcohol. The accused was on an American Airlines (AA-292) flight to New Delhi when he was apprehended after landing at Indira Gandhi International Airport.
The police registered a case under IPC and the Civil aviation act against him though the victim passenger flying in business class did not register a complaint against the accused. Meanwhile, India’s aviation regulator, the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), has also sought a detailed report from the airline.
“American Airlines flight 292 with service from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) was met by local law enforcement upon arrival in DEL due to a disruptive customer. The flight landed safely at 9:50 pm,” the Airline said in a statement and confirmed that it will not allow the passenger on board in the future.
This incident occurs just a few months after a rowdy Indian passenger named Shankar Mishra allegedly urinated on a 70-year-old woman co-passenger in business class on an Air India New York-New Delhi flight in November.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) fined Air India Rs 30 lakh for failing to report the incident within 12 hours of the incident, as required by the Standard Operating Procedure.
