A man identified as Rajinder Singh of Kotli village in Jalandhar was taken into 14-day judicial custody after being presented in a local court. The incident happened on Indigo’s Dubai-Amritsar flight, and Singh, a businessman, was allegedly drunk when he committed the act.
While on board the flight, Singh started drinking, and when the air hostess tried to request him not to drink, he allegedly molested her. Though all the crew tried to calm him, he started shouting at the cabin crew. The crew members then complained to the Amritsar Control room about the issue.
A complaint was lodged by security officer Ajay Kumar of Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport, Amritsar. A case of Section 354, assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty, and 509, word, gesture, or act intended to the modesty of a woman of Indian Penal Code have been registered against the accused at the Airport police station.
Rajinder Singh was arrested when the craft landed in Amritsar.
