“Disgraceful on your flight AI 102 from JFK to Delhi a drunk passenger removed his pants and peed on the seat my mother was sitting!!! She was traveling alone and is completely traumatized! Reply ASAP."
Junior Civil Aviation Minister Jayant Sinha has ordered a probe into the incident. Responding to Ghosh on Twitter, the Indian minister ordered the airline to "report back to aviation ministry/DGCA." He also termed the "harrowing" incident "unfortunate".
