The business class passenger from Mumbai, Shankar Mishra, who urinated on an elderly woman while drunk on an Air India flight in November, was arrested late on Friday night by the Delhi police from Bengaluru and was brought back to the national capital, sources said. He was on the run, and a lookout notice or airport alert was put out to trace him.
The Delhi police had deployed a team in Karnataka’s Bengaluru to catch Shankar Mishra, after getting some ‘concrete’ leads on his whereabouts.
Though he switched off his phone, he was using his social media accounts to communicate with his friends, which gave an opening to the police to zero in on him, top police sources said.
