New Delhi, Jan 6: Swati Maliwal, the head of the Delhi Commission for Women on Friday sent a notice to the Delhi Police, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), and Air India demanding arrests in connection with recent incidences of drunk men urinating on women on airplanes.
“Recent incidents of drunk men urinating on women on flights are extremely disgusting and shameful. It is shocking to note that the accused haven’t been arrested yet. Simply banning the person isn’t enough. I am issuing notices to Delhi Police, DGCA & Air India in the matter,” said Swati Maliwal.

Maliwal called the occurrences ‘very unsettling and serious’ in the notice.
Additionally, she has asked the Delhi Police, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), and Air India to provide pertinent information no later than noon on January 10th.
The DGCA sent show-cause notices to the Accountable Manager, Director of In-Flight Services, Air India, and the pilots and cabin crew members of the flight on November 26 regarding the two cases of passenger urination on Air India aircraft. These notices ask them to explain why enforcement action should not be taken against them for failing to perform their duties.
