Air India incident: DGCA seeks report; airline says passenger banned from flying

Air India on Wednesday said it has imposed a flying ban on the passenger who had urinated on a co-passenger onboard a flight from New York to Delhi in November last year and set up an internal panel to probe whether there were lapses on part of the crew in addressing the situation.

Earlier in the day, aviation regulator DGCA said it has sought a report from the airline on the incident which happened on November 26. The airline has already filed a police complaint about the incident.

On November 26, an inebriated male passenger urinated on a female co-passenger during a flight from New York to Delhi, according to reports.
