NCW sources: AI pilot was in the wrong

With the National Commission for Women (NCW) slated to table its report on the Air India molestation case today (November 3), commission sources have told TIMES NOW that the Airhostess Komal Singh's version of events is correct. Sources add that the Air India pilot was in the wrong.
This result would be contradictory to the assessment by Air India’s own five-member panel, which on October 30 dismissed with surprising alacrity the complaint filed by the air hostess that she was molested by a commander in the course of a spat on board IC 884 on October 3 while flying from Sharjah to Delhi.
While the panel apparently took into consideration the complainant’s alleged history of indiscipline and ‘habitual’ levelling of charges against colleagues, the NCW probe report, sources say, bases its findings on the medical test conducted on the air hostess, which found evidence of physical assault.
The NCW is fact finding recommendatory body – and like most commissions, as per the statute it can recommend specific actions to the concerned authorities. Legally speaking, the commission after tabling its report could be expected within 10 days to make a recommendation to the police and the airline to take necessary action.
For the police this would entail registering a case against the accused, and for air line perhaps, a review of its earlier probe findings.
Air India air hostess Komal Singh had accused Capt. Arora of molesting and assaulting her after an altercation in the cockpit, and also cited sexual harassment.
