New Delhi: Police have arrested a 56-year-old man at Indira Gandhi Airport here for allegedly masturbating on-broad an aircraft from Hyderabad. Police said the incident happened on Saturday on an Indigo flight from Hyderabad to Delhi.
It came to light after a 44-year-old woman filed a police complaint against the Rohini resident, the police said. In her complaint, she said she allegedly saw the man, who was seated next to her in the flight, unzipping his pants and masturbating.
She brought it to the notice of the flight attendants who then allotted her another seat, police said. After the aircraft landed, the man was arrested.
The norms for no-fly list to rein in unruly passengers are expected to be ready early next month, the government said on Sunday amid a parliamentarian being barred by domestic airlines for allegedly creating ruckus.
A revised civil aviation requirement is being finalised after receiving comments from the stakeholders.
The civil aviation ministry has already come out with draft rules for a ‘national no-fly list’ of unruly passengers for all domestic carriers, under which the flying ban could extend from at least three months to an indefinite time.
