Passenger caught masturbating mid-air

VADODARA: An air hostess on the Delhi-Vadodara flight of IndiGo Airlines got the shock of her life when she allegedly caught a passenger staring at her and masturbating in mid-air. When the aircraft landed at Vadodara, the passenger Rajeev Mallik was arrested by the police for performing a vulgar act in public place and was later released on bail.

While there have been such instances in the West, this is perhaps an unprecedented case where a passenger has been caught masturbating. Mallik, a manager with a private firm in Delhi, was on an official visit to Vadodara.

The incident took place before 11.30 am on flight 6E 481 when the cabin crew was preparing to land at the Vadodara airport. Mallik, a resident of Okhla in New Delhi, had changed his seat and gone to the rear of the aircraft. Kishanwadi police station officials, who arrested Mallik, said the accused was “showing his private parts” even as an air hostess was watching him in the act.

Police officials added that the air hostess was going through the routine exercise of asking passengers to fasten their seat belts before landing when she came across Mallik masturbating. Apparently, he did not even stop on seeing the air hostess.

The air hostess immediately informed the flight captain, who in turn informed officials at Vadodara airport on Friday. Mallik was detained by the airport security as soon as he alighted from the flight and was handed over to the Kishanwadi police. An offence was registered against Mallik by IndiGo’s Vadodara manager, Meet Ringwani.
