The Delhi Patiala House Court on Wednesday reserved its order on a bail application of Shankar Mishra, an accused of urinating on a fellow woman passenger on an Air India flight in November last year.
The plea asserted that the act was not motivated by sexual desire and that it was not intended to offend the complainant’s modesty, and Metropolitan Magistrate Komal Garg reserved the order on the plea.
Shankar Mishra allegedly urinated on a woman co-passenger in an inebriated condition in the business class of the Air India flight from New York to Delhi on November 26 last year.
On the basis of a complaint made by the woman to Air India, the Delhi Police filed an FIR against Mishra on January 4. On Saturday, he was taken into custody in Bengaluru. Later, a different magistrate’s court rejected the police’s request for the accused to be held in custody and instead placed him on judicial remand for 14 days.
Mishra admitted to police during questioning that he was too drowsy to remember anything about the incident. Only after other passengers on the flight informed him of his behaviour, he apologised to the victim, officials said on Saturday.
