    The air hostess' claims need to be investigated and she too need to be interrogated. A businessman of 60 years old will definitely have the wisdom of where and when to touch a woman. I am sure it would have been just an accidental touch.

    May be he lost balance while getting down. As if there were no other passengers around. Any eye witness ?

    Police in this country are busy only to solve all these problems. Someone touched here and there, making police to investigate and make a trial where exactly he touched.
    How the police can control the crime when they are busy with all these stuff...
