Guwahati: A male passenger has been apprehended after reportedly groping an air hostess while intoxicated on a trip between Dubai and Amritsar, reports emerged on Monday.
Reports claim that on Saturday, the man, identified as Rajinder Singh, hailing from Jalandhar in Punjab got into a furious disagreement and he allegedly groped her.
The police was quoted by PTI saying, “The air hostess brought the incident to the crew’s notice. The accused was allegedly in a drunken state.”
The crew members subsequently informed the Amritsar control room about the information after receiving it, and the airline’s assistant security manager reported the incident to the authorities.
According to reports, Singh was taken into custody after arriving at Punjab’s Shri Guru Ramdas Ji International Airport.
He has been accused of violating Indian Penal Code (IPC) Sections 354 (attack or criminal force to a woman with the intent to outrage her modesty) and 509 (word, gesture, or act intended to degrade the modesty of a woman).
