Shyam Mishra, denying that his son had urinated on the woman, claimed,

I don't think he would do it. She (the victim) is a 72-year-old woman, she is like his mother. He (the accused, his son) is a 34-year-old man. How can he do it? He is married and has an 18-year-old daughter: Shyam Mishra, father of accused S Mishra (2/2) pic.twitter.com/1zoBgmjwMB

The father also said that no one saw what transpired as there were no eye-witnesses:

"She (victim) had demanded payment, and it was made. Don't know what happened next. Must have demanded something that perhaps wasn't met that upset her. Perhaps there was blackmailing, there must be something," Shyam Mishra added.

What a farce.
On one hand we have enthu. media branding the man as 'Urinator'(??¡á?)& calling a 34 yr old as 'middle-aged';on the other hand we have ShyamMishra defending his son with a "Bachcha hai,galti se/neend men aunty pe susu kar diya hoga,maaf kar deejiye"?#AirIndiaHorror https://t.co/Tmss2UMNwf

At the same time, Wells Fargo fired Shankar Mishra.

Accusations made against Shankar Mishra were termed as "deeply disturbing" in a statement released by the US financial services company on Friday.

The #AirIndia case makes me deeply uncomfortable. Moreover, reading comments from men questioning why Shankar Mishra had to be terminated from his job over a ¡°small drunk mistake¡± is extremely unsettling. This whole thing is nauseating

¡ª Ira (@irationalised) January 6, 2023

"Wells Fargo holds employees to the highest standards of professional and personal behavior, and we find these allegations deeply disturbing. This individual has been terminated from Wells Fargo," the company said.

"We are cooperating with law enforcement and ask that any additional inquiry be directed to them," the statement added.

Despite telling the crew that she did not want to see Shankar Mishra's face, the passenger was "shocked" when the offender was brought before her and "began crying and profusely apologizing."

He pleaded with her not to press charges, telling her that as a family man, he did not want the incident to have a negative impact on his wife and kid, according to the FIR lodged by the Delhi Police.

What happened on Air India with the drunk man urinating on a female passenger is sexual abuse and violation of the worst kind. Read the victims full account . It¡¯s horrendous that there was no one on ground to record the passengers complaint . pic.twitter.com/1T0Pq86rng

According to the Wednesday FIR filed after the victim appealed to Air India, the victim said that she had been forced to face the accused and negotiate with him, despite her reluctance to do so.
