Mumbai Man Who Urinated On Air India Flight, Arrested

The man from Mumbai who urinated on an elderly woman on an Air India flight from New York to Delhi was arrested. Shankar Mishra was arrested on Friday night by the Delhi police from Bengaluru.

Shankar Mishra was sent to judicial custody for 14 days. Shankar Mishra was reportedly on the run and a lookout notice was put out to trace him. Police managed to catch him through social media accounts to communicate with his friends though he switched off his phone.

Shankar Mishra allegedly unzipped his pants and urinated on an elderly woman in business class. He later begged the woman not to report him to the police.

American financial services company Wells Fargo terminated Shankar Mishra from the company, mentioning the allegations were deeply disturbing. Shankar Mishra worked as vice president of the India chapter.

Shankar Mishra’s lawyers claim that he apologized to the woman and also paid her ₹15000 as compensation and got her belongings cleaned. The woman’s daughter reportedly returned the money, saying she could not accept it.

Meanwhile, DGCA warned of strict action if Air India staff fail to act against passengers who are unruly or behave inappropriately.
