On November 26, the event happened on board Air India flight AI 102, which was travelling from New York to Delhi. When the cabin lights were turned off, an inebriated Mishra urinated on a female passenger who was a senior lady in her seventies.
The woman complained in a letter to Tata Group Chairman N Chandrasekharan about how the cabin personnel had been quite indifferent to the circumstances.
Later, the business where Mishra worked, Wells Fargo, terminated his employment. The American financial services company with its headquarters in California, Wells Fargo, employed Shankar Mishra as its vice president for its India division.
Mishra was also given a 30-day travel ban by Air India, and an internal investigation has been opened to see if the crew handled the issue improperly.
