Air India passenger defecates urinates on mid-air flight arrested

New Delhi: Once again, the case of urination on the plane has come to the fore. An African passenger travelling from Mumbai to Delhi by Air India got arrested for allegedly defecating and urinating on the flight floor while it was in mid-air. The incident took place on board flight AIC 866 on June 24.

According to the FIR lodged at Delhi airport by the flight captain, the passenger was identified as Ram Singh, who was a cook in Africa, seated on 17F on Air India flight AIC 866 from Mumbai to Delhi, and who defecated, urinated, and spat in row 9 of the aircraft.

The airline’s spokesperson said, “A passenger on our flight AI866 operating from Mumbai-Delhi on June 24 behaved in a repulsive manner, causing discomfort to the co-passengers. In doing their best to manage the situation in the circumstances, the crew immediately secluded the passenger for the rest of the flight and issued a warning. The passenger was handed over to the security personnel upon landing in Delhi.”

When the cabin crew first saw the wrongdoing, they warned the man and separated him from the other passengers. The pilot-in-command was also made aware of the situation, and a request for security assistance was submitted to the corporation upon arrival. When the plane touched down, the head of Air India security was there to arrest the accused. A case was filed under Indian Penal Code sections 294 and 510. Air India also published a formal statement about the event, stating that it had a zero-tolerance policy for such “unruly and unacceptable behaviour.”
