A disturbing event occurred on an Air India flight on Wednesday, when a business class passenger reportedly urinated on another traveller, prompting an investigation by both the airline and government authorities.
The incident happened on flight AI2336 from New Delhi to Bangkok, despite the cabin’s lavatories being fully functional, according to local media reports.
Senior cabin crew members responded by providing towels for clean-up and escorting the Japanese passenger to the lavatory to change his clothes. The perpetrator was relocated to another seat.
Crew members offered to help the affected passenger file a formal complaint with Bangkok authorities, but he declined, The Indian Express reported.
Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu said that authorities would investigate, adding that “if there is any wrongdoing, we will take necessary action”.
