Flying on a high, he hugs and tugs at air hostesses

Mumbai: On Tuesday, the Sahar airport police arrested a drunk passenger for molesting an air hostess on board a Dubai-Mumbai Jet Airways flight and misbehaving with other crew members. He will be produced in the Andheri metropolitan court on Thursday.
On Tuesday evening on board Jet's Dubai-Mumbai flight 9W-541 which took off at 1:42pm local time (4:12pm IST) passenger Selvaraj Prabhakaran Pillai, 51, went into the restroom at about 5.55pm IST.
With 20 minutes left for landing, an air hostess knocked on the door. Pillai emerged and hugged her. A male purser intervened and directed Pillai to his seat, but the passenger tried to hug the air hostess again.
His odd behaviour didn't end there. When the passengers were disembarking after the flight landed at 6:18pm IST, Pillai pulled another air hostess, towards himself. By then the pilot had alerted the Jet Airways security staff, who caught Pillai misbehaving with Mistry. At this, Pillai threatened the security.
He was handed over to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and a case was registered at the Sahar police station.
