New Delhi: A passenger allegedly urinated on a male co-passenger in an inebriated state on board an American Airlines flight from New York to New Delhi, police said on Sunday.
The incident took place on flight AA292, which took off from New York at 9.16 pm on Friday and landed at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport here at 10.12 pm on Saturday.
“We have received a complaint from American Airlines against a man, Arya Vohra, a student in the USA and a resident of Defence Colony Delhi. We are taking necessary legal action.
A source at the airport said, “The accused is a student of an American university.
He was in an inebriated state and urinated in his clothes in his sleep, leaving the passenger sitting next to him wet. The victim did not want to complain to the police as the accused student had apologised and the complaint could have put his career in jeopardy.
The airline, however, took it seriously and reported the matter to the Air Traffic Control (ATC) at the IGI (Indira Gandhi International) Airport. The crew, after learning about the incident, reported it to the pilot, who reported the matter to the ATC.
The ATC reported the matter to the Central Industrial Security Force personnel, who handed over the accused passenger to the Delhi Police.
