A Delhi Court on Saturday sent Shankar Mishra, accused of urinating on co-passenger mid-air, to a 14-day judicial remand.
The court denied Mishra’s custody to police.
Mishra had been booked under Sections 510 (misconduct in public by a drunken person), 509 (insulting the modesty of a woman), 294 (sings, recites or utters any obscene song, ballad or words, in or near any public place), 354 (intending to outrage modesty) of the Indian Penal Code as well as a section of the Aircraft Rules Act in a case registered at IGI airport police station.
The Air India airline itself has banned Mishra for 30 days.
“As a first step, Air India has banned the passenger for 30 days, the maximum it is permitted to unilaterally do so, and reported the matter to the DGCA for further action,” a statement from the Tata-owned airline said.
