Pee-Gate Shocker: Air India Bans Shankar Mishra For 4 Months

New Delhi: The man who urinated on an elderly woman on an Air India flight, has been banned by the airline for four months.

Reportedly, the man, identified as Shankar Mishra allegedly urinated on a 72-year-old woman on the flight and was arrested from Bengaluru last week, six weeks after his egregious act.

He was allegedly drunk during the journey from New York to New Delhi when he allegedly unzipped his pants and urinated on the woman seated in business class.

The incident, which stoked nationwide outrage, took place on a New York-Delhi flight on November 26. He had been on the run from authorities for days and had been sacked by US banking giant Wells Fargo.

Air India had come under heavy criticism for not taking prompt action. Mishra walked away without any action when the flight landed in Delhi. The airlines filed a police complaint only on January 4, claiming it didn’t go to the police as it felt both sides had “settled the matter”.

Shankar Mishra claimed that the woman urinated on herself. The sacked banking executive denied that he had peed on the elderly woman during a flight. The woman denied Mishra’s claims, calling them “completely false and concocted”. He is currently in judicial custody.
