A woman executive working with a multinational company was allegedly threatened, misbehaved and manhandled onboard a Jet Airways flight.

A woman executive working with a multinational company was allegedly threatened, misbehaved and manhandled onboard a Jet Airways flight. The victim alleged that the incident happened in front of the crew members but none bothered to intervene. She has alleged that initially, she had lodged a complaint in this respect with the Jet Airways office but instead of taking action, they passed the buck. Harassed by the company’s behaviour, she decided to approach the police and lodged an FIR in this respect with the IGI police station. IGI DCP Sajneev Bhatia confirmed the incident, saying they had lodged a case. “We are looking into the allegations,” he said.

The woman, who lives in South Delhi, was returning to Delhi from Bagdogra in a Jet Airways flight 9W0712 after meeting her relatives.

“I was sitting on seat number 31-A. A female passenger who was sitting in front of me was rocking her chairs. I told her not to do so as it was irritating. Suddenly, a man who was sitting on seat no 30 started hurling abuses at me. I was taken by surprise. He came to me and threatened me of dire consequence,” the victim said.

She called the crew members who initially spoke to the man. The crew members changed the seat of the victim. However, after a while, the accused again went over her seat and allegedly manhandled her. The victim somehow managed to take a picture of the man. A police source said she called for crew members but they remained silent. After the incident, the victim lodged a complaint of the incident with the concern authority of the Jet Airways but nothing happened. She then lodged an FIR with the IGI police station. Speaking to this newspaper, Jet Airways PRO Ratandeep said that he was not aware about the incident. “If something has happened, give me the full information, I will check with the concerned authority and will be able to comment on the incident,” he said.

The police official said that the man who misbehaved with the woman has not been identified so far. “We have got the picture of the accused and will check from the Jet Airways to ascertain the identity of the accused. No arrest has been made so far,” the police said.
