Drunk man pees on co-passenger on New York-Delhi flight

There has been yet another incident of a man urinating on a co-passenger mid-flight. Reports said an Indian man, who was in an inebriated condition, peed on a fellow passenger while aboard an American Airlines flight 292 from New York to Delhi. He was arrested by the police after the plane landed at the Delhi airport on Monday (April 24) night.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has taken action against the culprit after receiving a report from the airline, and will initiate a probe into the incident, said the sources.
