Mumbai: The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) recently issued notices to Indira Gandhi International Airport Police and Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) about alleged sexual harassment by a passenger travelling on a SpiceJet flight from Delhi to Mumbai.
An elderly man secretly took objectionable videos and photos of the flight attendant and other women.
The incident came to light after a female passenger, who was seated next to the man, posted a video detailing the incident on Instagram.
“On SpiceJet flight 157 (Delhi-Mumbai), our seat was A and B, and on C sat an elderly man who did a deplorable act. The man was trying to record a video of the underpants of a flight attendant while she was serving him,” said the blogger.
The woman said inappropriate photos clicked by the man were found on his phone.
“After noticing when I informed the attendant, who told me she felt he had been clicking photos. Later, photos of the attendant’s leg, her underpants and even my video were found on his phone,” the woman said.
