Drunk student bars from flying in American Airlines after he urinates on fellow passenger on New York-Delhi flight

In yet another pee-gate incident, a passenger, who was in an inebriated state, was travelling in a New York-New Delhi American Airlines on Saturday when he allegedly urinated on a male fellow passenger. Following the incident, American Airlines cancelled his return and barred him from travelling in the future on their airlines.

The incident happened on flight number AA292 which took off from New York at 9:16 pm on Friday and landed after 14 hours and 26 minutes of flying at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport in Delhi at 10:12 pm on Saturday.

According to the reports, the accused was in an inebriated state and urinated while he was asleep. Somehow, it spilled and dropped on another passenger, who complained to the crew. The accused is identified as Arya Vohra, a student in the US.

The victim, however, refused to file the complaint to the police after the accused apologized stating that it might put his career in jeopardy. However, the airline reported the matter to the Air Traffic Control (ATC) at the IGI airport.

When the crew learned about the event on board, they alerted the pilot, who then reported it to the ATC, who later informed the CISF officials, and handed the accused passenger over to the Delhi Police. The airline’s own security team, along with the CISF, came into action after the incident came to light. As soon as the plane touched down, the suspect was arrested. The statements of those involved are being recorded by the police.

The airline in a complaint said Upon the aircraft’s arrival, Purser informed that the passenger was heavily intoxicated. He urinated on a passenger seated on 15G. We along with the CISF officer (at Delhi’s IGI airport) disembarked the passenger from the aircraft who was still in an intoxicated condition. On basis of the above, we would be cancelling his travelling his return and future travel on our flight, the airline added.

This is the second such incidence of mid-air pee incident in the last few months. On November 26, an almost similar incident took place on a New York-Delhi Air India flight, in which a man named Shankar Mishra had allegedly urinated in a drunken state on an elderly woman.

Following the incident, a police complaint was filed against Mishra who spent nearly a month in jail before releasing on a bail. He was barred from flying for four months. The DGCA imposed a fine of Rs 30 lakh on Air India for not reporting the matter within 12 hours of the incident in accordance with the norm.

Bihar government cabinet

A major cabinet expansion took place in Bihar on Thursday, with 32 leaders from the ruling NDA alliance inducted into the state government. Among the prominent names was Nishant Kumar, son of former Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, who entered the cabinet for the first time.

The expansion included representatives from all major NDA allies in the state. According to reports, the BJP secured 15 ministerial berths, while JD(U) got 13 positions. Two ministers were inducted from Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), while Hindustani Awam Morcha and Rashtriya Lok Morcha received one berth each.

The oath-taking ceremony was held in Patna in the presence of senior NDA leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

Nishant Kumar’s induction comes weeks after he formally entered active politics. His entry into the Bihar cabinet is being viewed as a significant development for JD(U), which had long projected an anti-dynasty image under Nitish Kumar’s leadership.

The cabinet reshuffle follows Nitish Kumar’s move to the Rajya Sabha earlier this year and the formation of the government led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary.
