On November 26, an Air India flight from New York to Delhi was accused of having Shankar Mishra urinate on an elderly passenger while his pants were unfastened. Later, he begged the woman not to call the police and say something about him since it would affect his wife and child.
On January 4, Delhi Police filed a FIR against him in response to a complaint the woman made to Air India.
The Indian Chapter of the American financial services company Wells Fargo terminated Mishra’s employment after finding the allegations to be “very distressing.”
