The 58-year-old man allegedly sat behind a female co-passenger and masturbated in full sight aboard a Turkish Airlines flight that had taken off from Istanbul. He was arrested soon after the flight landed at the Delhi airport, but police refused to disclose his name unless the allegations were ascertained.

New Delhi (Sputnik) — A Russian national of Indian origin was arrested at Delhi airport on Monday after a co-passenger made a distress call to the Delhi Police on arrival at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport. The complainant alleged that the man masturbated in front of her aboard the Delhi-bound flight from Istanbul. While the flight was mid-air, she registered a complaint with the cabin crew, who asked the accused to take another seat, away from the complainant.
