Drunk Passenger Nabbed For Allegedly Molesting Air Hostess On Dubai-Amritsar Flight
A passenger on an IndiGo flight from Dubai was arrested for allegedly harassing a woman crew member and creating a ruckus onboard after he arrived at Amritsar¡¯s Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport on Monday morning. The passenger, identified as Rajinder Singh from the Kotli village in Jalandhar, was reportedly drunk.
What happened
Indigo¡¯s 6E 1428 flight from Dubai to Amritsar was mid-air on Saturday, May 13 and was supposed to reach Amritsar by 8 pm the next day. Everything was going fine until a male passenger started misbehaving with the crew members after consuming a considerably high amount of alcohol on the flight.
The crew gave several warnings to Singh but to no avail. The man allegedly molested an air hostess on board in a drunken state without paying heed to the crew¡¯s warning.The air hostess reported the incident to the Amritsar control room and described the entire situation after which a complaint was lodged by the assistant security manager.
Arrested at Amritsar airport
The accused was arrested as soon as he landed at the Shri Guru Ramdas ji International. Singh was booked under Sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and Section 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code, police said.
The man is currently in custody and investigation is underway as the complaint filed by the crew.
This is not the first time that a male passenger has misbehaved in a drunken state on a flight. Recently, a man urinated on a female senior citizen passenger mid-air on a flight and the case is currently under process in the court.
In another incident, a drunk passenger made sexual comments to a fellow female passenger on a flight and asked her to make love with him.
