The Shocking Incident of Peeing on an individual on an AI Flight.
The Incident
* Hema Rajaraman, above 70 years of age, was travelling Business Class, Seat 9A, on board Air India flight AI 102, from JFK to New Delhi on 26 Nov 2022.
* During the course of the flight, shortly after lunch was served and the lights were switched off, a completely inebriated Shankar Mishra - he'd consumed four drinks by then - the passenger of Seat 8A, walked up to the lady's seat, unzipped his pants and urinated on her.
* The blighter was a VP in the MNC Wells Fargo. He was fired by the company when the incident came to light.
Now see what the airline did in the aftermath.
* "Two stewardesses wiped the victim off the pee and washed her" - wonder what that means?
* She was refused a change of seat as requested by her, saying that she'd have to shift to the first class and that it should have the captain's permission..
* Once the inebriated guy had come back to his senses, he was made to sit opposite the victim to negotiate and work out a deal! The victim was not interested in it at all.
* The lady stuck to her stand that the guy needed to be arrested for his waywardness.
The subsequent bizarre happenings.
* The airline didn't consider it prudent to report the matter to the DGCA or the aviation ministry or to even report the matter to the Delhi Police and have the guy arrested, on arrival, at the destination.
* Instead, the guy was allowed to flee and he was on the run.
* Spearheaded by Arnab Goswami's Republic TV channel, as the case was brought to the knowledge of the general public, action was initiated and the blighter was arrested in Bangalore.
* The court had refused bail and the guy has been remanded to 14 days' judicial custody!
* The shameless guy has, through his lawyers, now stated that it was the lady who'd urinated on herself.
My take
* What sort of value system does the guy possess? Is this what his parents taught him during his upbringing?
* If he has a family of his own, what example is he setting to his children?
* He needs to be shamed after having been named. Suitable punishment should be meted out so that he doesn't misbehave in life, ever. It should also serve as a warning for future misconduct.
* What the blighter needs to do reduce his agony is to accept his mistake and apologise to the lady. He's continuing to goof up and make a very pitiable sight!
Tailpiece.
Got up at 6, the chores and was ready by a quarter to 10.
It was a quiet Friday.
