Drunk man molests air hostesses

Mumbai: There’s been another case of molestation of flight attendants, this time on a Goa-Mumbai-Delhi SpiceJet flight.
The incident, for which Delhi resident Raj Singh Hooda was booked, occurred on January 21 while the flight was airborne between Mumbai and Delhi. It comes close on the heels of Jaipur businessman Ved Prakash being thrown off a GoAir flight at Mumbai airport on January 17 for molesting a flight attendant.
According to the first information report filed at Palam police station in Delhi, Hooda was drunk when he boarded the plane. The four victims told police that he started groping them once the flight took off from Mumbai. Hooda refused to behave despite several warnings. Hooda was handed over to the police as soon as the flight landed.
The police booked him under Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code, which amounts to assault or criminal force against a woman with the intent to outrage her modesty. Hooda, a farmer, by profession was let off on bail later.
A SpiceJet spokesperson, confirming the incident, said: “We have filed a complaint.”
