New Delhi: Incidents of sexual harassment have reached the skies with a female passenger onboard a Delhi-Chennai IndiGo flight accusing her co-passenger of molesting her.
The female passenger alleged that her co-passenger, a 43-year-old man from Rajasthan, tried to touch her inappropriately while she was asleep in her seat.
The victim raised an alarm and later filed a complaint against him when the flight landed in Chennai at 4.30pm.
Following the complaint, the man was arrested and a case registered against him under section 75 (sexual harassment) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
