It is alarming and disconcerting to witness incidents where passengers are urinating on their co-passengers during flights. Such events were previously unheard of, but now seem to be happening with increasing frequency. In a recent incident, an Indian man travelling from New York to Delhi allegedly urinated on his fellow passenger during a mid-flight argument while under the influence of alcohol.
Following the plane's landing at Delhi airport, the accused was taken into custody by the authorities. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) will conduct a thorough investigation into the matter, as per standard procedure.
American Airlines has released a statement referring to the incident as a "disruption on board." The victimized passenger has filed a formal complaint with the airline. Such behavior on flights is unacceptable and poses a risk to the safety and well-being of all passengers aboard. It is imperative that individuals who engage in such acts are held accountable for their actions.
