Two drunk men harass Air India hostess on London - Delhi flight, arrested


New Delhi, Apr 2 (PTI) : Two inebriated British nationals of Indian origin were arrested for allegedly harassing a 28-year-old air hostess on an Air India flight from London to Delhi.

After a complaint was filed, both the accused, who are real estate agents were arrested and later got bail, police said.

In a statement, Air India condemned the incident and said that they will also probe the matter at their end.

The accused were identified as Jaspal Singh (35) and Charandeep Khaira (36), who had come here from London to attend a marriage ceremony in Jaipur, said DCP (Airport) Sanjay Bhatia.

Their breathalyser test indicated they were drunk, he said.

They started making lewd comments. After the plane landed here, the crew reported the matter to the security agencies and a case was registered.

Condemning the incident, Air India said in a statement,

"The AI is also carrying out its probe and the incident iscondemned. At the same time we urge our passengers to draw a line of ethics while flying and using our services so that it does not cause inconvenience to either the airline and supporting staff or our valued travellers".

    And in the spirit of true journalism, we should get the story from the passengers as well. While passing lewd comments are objectionable, Air India does not have a great reputation when it comes to customer service. It is currently a case of he said, she said.

    You are free to avoid AI. Passenger has no right to pass lewd remarks towards female staff. These drunkards should be put in jail along with rowdy SS MP Ravindra. Some passengers treat Airline staff badly.
