In a shocking incident onboard an Air India international flight, an intoxicated man allegedly urinated on a seat where a woman passenger was sitting, prompting the Civil Aviation Ministry to seek a report from the national carrier.

Air India "strongly" condemned the incident on its flight and also apologised to the passengers for the inconvenience they faced onboard. "Details of the incident are being sent to appropriate authorities for probe, and possibly put the passenger on NOFLYLIST," the airline said in a tweet. The incident took place on Thursday when Air India flight AI 102 was on its way to New Delhi from New York.
