Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran issued a media statement over the ‘peeing’ incident that took place in a Air India flight between New York and New Delhi, when a passenger Shankar Mishra allegedly urinated on his female co-passenger on November 26, 2022.
In the statement, Chandrasekaran accepted that Air India should have responded to the situation more swiftly.
“The incident on Air India flight Al102 on November 26th, 2022, has been a matter of personal anguish to me and my colleagues at Air India,” he said.
“Air India’s response should have been much swifter. We fell short of addressing this situation the way it should have been,” he added.
The statement was released by Tata Sons boss’ chairman 44 days after the incident when there was a public outrage over the negligence as the authorities assured to take action.
Chandrasekaran stated that the Tata group and Air India are committed to ensure passengers’ well-being and safety.
“The Tata group and Air India stand by the safety and well-being of our passengers and crew with full conviction. We will review and repair every process to prevent or address any incidents of such unruly nature,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, the accused Shankar Mishra has been sent to judicial remand for a period of 14 days by the Delhi court after the police’s plea for his custody was rejected.
After the judgement, a bail plea was moved by the lawyer of accused Mishra which will be heard by the court on January 11.
