According to reports, the accused - identified as Munna Kumar who hailed from Bihar - urinated on the woman when she was sleeping. Several passengers gathered as soon as the woman raised an alarm.

The accused has been detained and sent to judicial custody.
This is the fourth such incident in the last few months when a passenger has urinated on a fellow passenger in an inebriated state. The last three incidents took place on an airplane.
Last week, a passenger was taken into custody for allegedly urinating on a fellow passenger on a New York-New Delhi American Airlines flight in a ‘drunk’ state. While the victim - a male passenger - was not keen on reporting the matter as the accused issued an apology and cited threats to his reputation and career, the airline reported the matter to the Air Traffic Control (ATC) at the IGI airport, reported PTI.
