Sugata Bhattacharjee, a US-based audiologist in seat 8A (window) in the first row of business class, next to Shankar Mishra in seat 8C, described the peeing incident on a New York-Delhi aircraft on November 26, according to TOI. “He was an angry drunk person,” she said.
On Nov 26, the extremely drunk Shankar Mishra told his fellow traveler, Bhattacharjee, that he urinated on a woman in her 70s on a trip from New York to Delhi. As he was getting sober, he said, “I guess I am in trouble.”
Shankar Mishra was really intoxicated.
Shankar Mishra drank four glasses of single malt whisky during lunch, as per middle-aged Sugata Bhattacharjee’s statement to TOI. The doctor speculated that because he appeared “visibly drunk,” he must have consumed more before and after.
They had two female passengers seated behind them. Bhattacharjee claimed he was dozing off when Mishra is reported to have urinated on the passenger in seat 9A, but he was present for what happened next. The cabin crew apparently forced the man who had urinated on her to speak despite being visibly upset. A drunk man is a drunk man. You do not bring a criminal to the victim to allow him to apologise to her when you see him.
Bhattacharjee is still horrified by the incident, which took place more than six weeks ago. We were in row 1 of the business class cabin. The restroom was four rows back. I am still perplexed by the logic. The next row was where Mishra went to urinate after waking up, he claimed. There was a woman in the aisle seat as well, but she was the passenger in the window seat who was drenched in urine.
Shankar Mishra knew he was in trouble
After the encounter, the inebriated Mishra eventually fell asleep. Mishra eventually woke up, having somewhat sobered up, and said, “I think I am in danger.” “Yes, you are,” I replied.
The two cabin crew members who assisted the woman with cleaning up were lauded by Bhattacharjee. They cleaned her things while using gloves in the aircraft bathroom after bringing them there. He said they went above and above what was required. She was the person in the window seat who was covered in pee, but there was also a woman in the aisle seat. However, they gave me instructions to write on a piece of paper. Even so, the airline failed to confirm receipt.
He sent a picture of his two-page complaint note to the Times. “During the trip, my seatmate Shankar Mishra (8C) fell on me, causing me to wake up. The note stated, “I initially thought that the rough flight had caused him to lose his balance.” There had been a lot of turbulence on the flight. However, I noticed my two fellow passengers on seats 9A and 9C in trouble as I was heading to the bathroom.
We were horrified to learn that my co-passenger, Shankar Mishra (8C), was so intoxicated that he had gone to the next row and urinated on an old lady. I was present the entire time as the two flight attendants worked carefully to assist her with cleaning up, changing her outfit, and sanitising her possessions and seat.
The fellow traveler was shocked by the incident.
The note said, “I for one am upset by the Captain’s delay of nearly two hours before giving her a fresh seat.” You do not force a concerned passenger to return to her unclean seat in first class while you wait for a crew seat to become available when there are four empty first class seats. The Captain made a bad decision here.
Bhattacharjee concluded by saying, “I have been a frequent flyer of Air India for many years. I adore Air India to the hilt. I have a strong interest in the national airline of India. They were the preferred airline where I was born in northeast India. Nobody provides connectivity in the same way as Air India does. But in the end, accepting responsibility is everything.
