MUMBAI: Police arrested a Bangladesh citizen for allegedly flashing at flight attendants and appearing to masturbate during a flight from Muscat to Mumbai on Thursday, reports V Narayan.
The accused, Mohammad Dulal (30), committed the offence 30 minutes before the Vistara flight was scheduledto make a landing at Mumbai around 4.25 am.
Dulal, who was supposed to board a connecting flight to Dhaka, was handed over to Sahar police. Dulal’s is the 12th case of unruly passenger behaviour reported in Mumbai in 2023. A total 23 cases have been registered between 2017 and 2023 (till September 7).
Dulal was produced before the Andheri Court on Thursday. Lawyer Prabhakar Tripathi, who appeared for him, argued that Dulal suffered from a mental disorder and did not follow English and Hindi. The passenger has been remanded to police custody till Friday.
“Dulal was arrested based on the complaint from the 22-year-old flight attendant for hugging her and trying to kiss her onboard. He even flashed at a flight supervisor and at other onboard passengers when they intervened. He did not listen to the captain who read out the Red Warning Card and declared him an unruly passenger for not obeying warnings,” said a Sahar police station officer.
Police have informed the Bangladesh consulate who will make arrangements for his bail and other case-related procedures on Friday.
