The security officer on duty told ANI, "It was learnt that an unruly passenger (Indian) arriving from New York by American Airlines Flight No. AA 292 in inebriated condition has argued with a co-passenger and urinated on him."
The man accused of urinating on a co-passenger on an onboard flight of Air India from New York to Delhi switched off his mobile phone and went incommunicado after the incident got reported in the media.
Delhi Police on Thursday had issued a Look Out Circular (LOC) for the accused. Delhi police on Saturday arrested Shankar Mishra who had allegedly urinated on an elderly lady onboard an Air India flight between New York and Delhi on November 26 last year.
Mr Shankar Mishra, the accused of urinating inflight on an elderly woman has issued a statement through his lawyers and said the lady in her message has clearly condoned the alleged act and has displayed no intention to lodge a complaint.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Thursday issued Show Cause notices to Air India, crew members and pilots of the New York-Delhi flight in connection with the urination incident onboard on November 26 last year.
