Mumbai: Air India has suspended its regional director (eastern region) allegedly for shoplifting a wallet at the duty-free area of Sydney airport on June 22.
The decision to suspend Captain Rohit Bhasin was taken following a report by the regional manager, Australasia. A senior commander, Capt. Rohit Bhasin was to fly AI 301 from Sydney to Delhi, a little after he allegedly committed the shoplifting.
The order signed by Air India’s director (personnel) Amrita Sharan said that without prejudice to any disciplinary action initiated against him and pending enquiry, Capt. Bhasin was being placed under suspension.
The senior pilot was also told not to enter the premises of Air India Ltd. or leave Kolkata, his station, without the permission of the airline management. He was also told to handover all his company identity cards.
On his part, officials said that Capt. Bhasin told officials that he had just learnt of becoming a grandfather and that he was too overwhelmed when he visited the outlet of TUMI, a bags and accessories brand to buy a gift for his daughter-in-law.
Air India spokesperson said, the airline lays the highest stress on proper conduct of its staff and has a zero tolerance policy towards acts of impropriety.
