New Delhi: In a bizarre incident on board Air India flight from New York to Delhi, a woman has alleged that a drunk passenger urinated on her mother’s seat.

“Disgraceful @airindiain yesterday on your flight AI102 from JFK to Delhi a drunk passenger removed his pants and peed on the seat my mother was sitting!!! She was travelling alone and is completely traumatized! Reply ASAP #AirIndia #Shameful,” she tweeted.

She also demanded strict action against the drunk passenger and said that by “reporting such obscene and offensive behavior the airline can stop such a person from creating nuisance in future”.
The details of the incident are extremely disturbing! One necessarily doesn’t prepare oneself to face such things. This was an afternoon flight and the incident happened post dinner(ample time to get drunk)what is AI’s response? What is happening? #nationalAirline #AirIndia

Taking cognisance of the matter, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha has directed Air India to follow up on the case and report back to the Aviation Ministry and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
“Please follow up immediately and report back to aviation ministry / DGCA. Very unfortunate that your mother had to go through this harrowing experience,” Sinha tweeted to Air India.
