    FIR against Mumbai bizman who peed on AI female co-passenger – Times of India


    NEW DELHI: Delhi Police have filed an FIR against a man who had allegedly urinated on a female septuagenarian passenger on board a flight from New York to Delhi on November 26. Police have identified the suspect as Shekhar Mishra, a businessman from Mumbai. Raids are being conducted to arrest him, an official said.
    The FIR was filed on Wednesday on the complaint of the woman which she had earlier submitted to the airline.

    Police said they will also initiate action against the airline for not informing them or any other security official after landing.
    The accused passenger has been booked under IPC sections for outraging the modesty of a woman, misconduct by a drunken person, obscene act in public place as well as Aircraft Rules. The case was registered on the basis of the complaint which the 70-year old woman had filed.
    In its communication with police, the airline had not given many details required for legal action, cops claimed. The information sent only mentioned the names of two passengers and stated that an incident had “allegedly” occurred on their flight.

    The cops spoke to the aggrieved woman, who informed them that she had on November 27 already written a detailed complaint to the airlines. On January 4, Air India shared the detailed complaint of the woman based on which a case was registered.
    Ravi Kumar Singh, deputy commissioner of police, IGI Airport, said, “Based on the woman’s complaint, a case under Section 510 (misconduct in public by a drunken person), 509 (insulting the modesty of a woman), 294 (sings, recites or utters any obscene song, ballad or words, in or near any public place), 354 (intending to outrage modesty) of the Indian Penal Code as well as 23 Aircraft Rules Act (sic) has been registered. Efforts are being made to nab the accused.”
    Police officials have also received details about the crew members who were on board the flight, cops will also question them to ascertain the sequence of events. As per information available, the man, who is in his 50s, was heavily drunk and got up to go to the bathroom. Since he was not in his senses, he did not realise that it was a passenger’s seat and not the bathroom and continued to relieve himself.

    The woman was disappointed with the response of the crew and wrote a letter to Tata Group chairman N Chandrasekaran. “Shortly after lunch was served and the lights were switched off, another passenger walked to my seat, completely inebriated. He unzipped his pants, relieved himself and continued to expose me to his private parts,” said the letter.
    After urinating, the man continued to stand there, exposing himself, and moved only after one of her co-passengers asked him to leave. When he walked away, the woman immediately notified a cabin crew member. “My clothes, shoes and bag were completely soaked in urine. The stewardess followed me to the seat, verified that it smelled of urine, and sprayed disinfectant on my bag and shoes…” the letter said.

  • India Well Placed To Continue To Be Fastest Growing Economy Next Year: N Chandrasekaran

    India Well Placed To Continue To Be Fastest Growing Economy Next Year: N Chandrasekaran

    Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran on Monday said that India is well placed to continue to be the fastest-growing major economy next year, which may mark the lowest global growth since the millennium began barring the pandemic and the global financial crisis.

    In his New Year message to around 9.35 lakh employees of Tata Group, Chandrasekaran said increasing consumption, consumer confidence, and investment will support India’s growth story although the global environment has several risk factors, including the energy crisis in Europe, the battle to contain inflation to avoid recession, and ongoing geopolitical conflicts.

    He wrote, “Post-pandemic, India opened up, and we have returned to living our daily lives normally, in a year that saw the nation turn 75 years old. Business momentum has been strong for many of our companies.”

    The chairman of Tata Sons said, “We are likely to see inflation gradually moderate. India is well positioned, and we will continue to be the fastest growing major economy, supported by increasing consumption, consumer confidence and investment.” However, he added, “Slowing global growth may act as a drag on output, but our rising share of global manufacturing should provide some buffer/insulation.” The global environment has several risk factors, including the energy crisis in Europe, the battle to contain inflation to avoid recession, and ongoing geopolitical conflicts, he pointed out, while adding, “Barring the pandemic and the global financial crisis, next year may mark the lowest global growth since the millennium began. We will need to keep careful watch on commodity price rises, in particular.”

    On the performance of the conglomerate in 2022, “an eventful year”, he said, “We have experienced significant milestones during the year, including the welcoming of Air India back to the Group; the launch of TataNeu; and Tata Motors passenger vehicles crossing 500,000 cars sold within a calendar year, with Tata EV cars accounting for 10 per cent.” There has been a good improvement and a strong performance of companies across the Group, Chandrasekaran said, adding the group’s success came from its “relentless drive to lead, the remarkable dedication and talent we nurture”.

    “In each of our segments, we are continuing to make progress and raising the bar, be it in terms of performance, customer experience, quality, sustainability or innovation,” he said.

    He asserted that India is well placed and the Tata Group has tremendous opportunity in the midst of global transitions towards AI (artificial intelligence)/ML (machine learning), sustainability and diversified supply chains.

    Tata Group has launched new initiatives to participate in global supply chains, he added.
