The National Commission for Women (NCW) on Wednesday took cognisance of the incident onboard an Air India New York-Delhi flight in which an inebriated male passenger allegedly peed on an elderly woman and flashed his private parts, in November last year.The Commission sought a detailed action taken report in the matter within 7 days from the Delhi Police commissioner. In a letter to the Delhi Comissioner of Police Sanjay Arora, NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma asked him to immediately register an FIR in the matter under relevant provisions of law and take strict action against the culprit for ‘causing mental trauma to an elderly woman’.”NCW has come across several media reports wherein it has been alleged that a drunken man urinated on a woman co-passenger in an Air India flight in November and left without facing any action. It has also been reported that after urinating, the man allegedly didn’t move until another passenger asked him to leave. The woman had complained to the crew, however, the crew allegedly gave her a set of pyjamas and slippers and told her to return to her seat, claiming no other seat was available,” the NCW said in a statement.The Commission further said it has also written to the chairman, Air India Ltd, to intervene in the matter and take appropriate action against the culprit.
