New Delhi: A man was held here for allegedly defecating and urinating on the floor of a Mumbai-Delhi Air India flight mid-air, police said on Monday.
The incident took place onboard flight AIC 866 on June 24, police said.
According to the FIR, Ram Singh, a passenger on seat number 17F, defecated, urinated, and spat in row 9 of the aircraft.
Upon observing the “misconduct”, the cabin crew gave a verbal warning to the passenger he was secluded from the others, it said.
The pilot-in-command was also informed of the situation. A message was sent to the company immediately seeking security on arrival to escort the passenger. The act left several of the passengers agitated, the FIR stated.
On arrival, the head of Air India security attended and escorted the passenger to the local police station, it said.
A case under sections 294 (obscene acts) and 510 (misconduct in public by a drunken person) of the Indian Penal Code was registered, it added.
