New Delhi/Bengaluru: Delhi Police on Saturday arrested from Bengaluru the man who allegedly urinated on a woman co-passenger on an Air India flight, officials said.
The accused, Shankar Mishra, was traced to Bengaluru through technical surveillance, they said.
Mishra allegedly urinated on the woman, a senior citizen, in an inebriated condition in the business class of the Air India flight from New York to Delhi on November 26 last year. Delhi Police had registered an FIR against him on January 4 on a complaint given by the woman to Air India.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Airport) Ravi Kumar Singh said, “Accused Shankar Mishra in IGIA case has been arrested from Bengaluru by a Delhi Police team. He has been brought to Delhi and further investigation into the case is in progress.” The accused was staying at his sister’s house in Sanjay Nagar, Bengaluru. The city police assisted the Delhi Police team in arresting him, a Bengaluru police official said.
Mishra had switched off his mobile phone on January 3 and his last location was traced to Bengaluru, Delhi Police officials said. He used to take a taxi to travel in Bengaluru. His travel history was extracted and the route he used to take to reach his office was followed, they said.
Late on Friday night, Mishra’s location was traced to Mysuru. By the time the Delhi Police team reached there, he had alighted from the taxi. The taxi driver was questioned, which yielded some leads, they said. Mishra often stayed at the place from where he was arrested, the police said.
