A passenger, probably in an inebriated state, aboard an Air India flight from Delhi to Bangkok urinated on a fellow traveller mid-air, airline officials confirmed on Wednesday.

The incident occurred on Flight AI2336 and was promptly reported to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the airline said in a statement. The crew intervened to manage the situation and assisted the victim, who was also offered help in filing a formal complaint upon landing.

Air India said an independent committee would investigate the matter and recommend appropriate action against the offender.

This is the latest in a string of similar incidents involving Air India passengers in recent years, raising concerns over in-flight conduct and safety protocols.

Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu said the ministry has taken note of the matter and assured action if any lapses are found.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
