Man arrested for urinating and defecating on floor of Air India flight

A man was held in New Delhi for allegedly defecating and urinating on the floor of a Mumbai-Delhi Air India flight mid-air, police said.

According to police, the incident took place onboard flight AIC 866 on June 24.

Ram Singh, a passenger on seat number 17F, defecated, urinated, and spat in row 9 of the aircraft, said the FIR.

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.

On November 26, 2022, a man, who was in an inebriated condition, allegedly urinated on a woman co-passenger onboard an Air India flight from New York to Delhi.

Ten days later, another episode of a “drunk” male passenger allegedly “urinating” on a blanket of a female passenger was reported on a Paris-New Delhi Air India flight on December 6.
