In the second incident, another passenger allegedly undressed on an empty seat and a blanket of a fellow female passenger when she went to the toilet.

The aviation watchdog has issued a show cause notice to the accountable manager of Air India as to why enforcement action should not be taken against him for dereliction of his regulatory obligations.
On 8 January, Tata Group chairman N Chandrasekaran admitted that Air India’s response to an incident where a drunk passenger urinated on a woman on one of its international flights last year should have been “much faster”. “We fell short of handling this situation the way we should have,” he said in a statement.
Meanwhile, in a statement issued on Monday, the DGCA also referred to the existing rules related to reporting and taking action against unruly passengers. The statement said that under DGCA regulations, the concerned airline is responsible to inform the regulator within 12 hours of landing of the aircraft, if there is any incident of unruly passengers/passenger anger/passenger misbehavior in their flight.
