Indian on Delhi-Bangkok Air India flight urinates on Japanese flyer mid-air
Updated: Apr 9th, 2025
The Delhi to Bangkok Air India flight AI2336 turned into a nightmare when an Indian passenger allegedly urinated on a fellow traveller from Japan.
The ‘unruly passenger behaviour’ was reported on its Delhi-Bangkok flight on Tuesday which was later informed to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), as per a statement of airlines to media.
According to Air India, a passenger named Tushar Masand urinated on Hiroshi Yoshizane, the Managing Director of Bridgestone India.
The airlines reportedly said that when Hiroshi alerted the crew senior cabin crew members Sunpreet Singh and Rishika Matre responded by providing towels and assisting Hiroshi in cleaning up.
The crew also relocated Masand from the area. Hiroshi was then escorted to the lavatory to change clothes, and the captain was informed of the situation.
Meanwhile, another passenger onboard the same flight expressed discomfort and requested that Masand be removed from the J-class cabin due to safety concerns.
After using the lavatory, Masand apologised repeatedly to Hiroshi, who declined to file a formal complaint, stating he did not wish to waste time after landing.
Notably, this is not the first bizarre mid-air incident, a business-class passenger on a New York-Delhi flight urinated on an elderly woman in November 2022. The airline faced severe backlash for its handling of the matter, with the DGCA later fining the airline and suspending the pilot for negligence.
