The incident occurred on December 6 on Air India flight 142 and the pilot of the aircraft reported the matter to the Air Traffic Control (ATC) at Indira Gandhi International Airport about it, following which the male passenger was apprehended.

The flight landed at 9:40 am in Delhi and the airport security was informed that the male passenger was “under the influence of alcohol and was not following the instructions of the cabin crew and he later peed on a blanket of an onboard lady passenger”, airport officials said.

The male passenger was apprehended by the Central Industrial Security Force as soon as he deboarded the plane but was later allowed to leave after the two passengers reached a “mutual compromise” and the accused tendered a “written apology”.

The lady passenger, who initially made a written complaint, refused to file a police case and the passenger was allowed to go by the airport security after he cleared immigration and Customs formalities, they said.

Meanwhile, the Delhi Police have registered an FIR regarding the November incident, based on a complaint by the victim to Air India.
