Air India’s Pax Pee Case: Shankar Mishra’s father came to the defense of his son, who was accused of urinating on a seventy-year-old woman on a New York-Delhi Air India flight, and termed the entire fiasco as a ‘false case’. Shankar Mishra, a top executive in US financial services company Wells Fargo, has been sacked and is hiding in Bengaluru after the lookout circular was issued. Mishra was later arrested by the Delhi Police.
“False case. My son did not sleep for 30-35 hours. After dinner, he must have consumed drinks provided by the crew and then fell asleep. From my understanding, he was interrogated by the airline staff after he woke up Shyam Mishra, the father of the accused, said. “I don’t think he would do that. She (the victim) is a 72-year-old woman, she is like his mother. He (the accused, his son) is a 34 year old man. How can he do this? He is married and has an 18-year-old daughter,” he said.
Air India employees summoned
Air India employees including pilots and co-pilots were summoned for Friday, but they did not appear. Sources said on Friday that he has now been summoned to the office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Airport) on January 7.

The crew got me talking with the gangsters
The woman, who had complained about a male co-passenger urinating on her during an Air India flight on November 26 last year, had informed the crew that she did not want to see his face and when the offender was placed in front of her She was “stunned” when brought in. “Started crying and apologizing”. The woman alleged that despite her reluctance, she was forced to face the accused and interact with him, which led her to further go astray, as per her complaint lodged with Air India on Wednesday.
