This happened on an American Airlines flight from New York to Delhi.
The culprit was apparently unaware, and fast asleep when the incident happened; it must have been a really strong drink if he passed out.
He was arrested by the Delhi police the moment American Airlines ‘’flight AA292 from New York JFK Airport (JFK) to Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) arrived“, this past Saturday.
An article published in the ‘’Hindustan Times’’ said the student was a rather difficult passenger, the difficult kind of drunk, we all know one who acts a fool when drunk.
The 21-year-old student refused to follow crew commands before apparently passing out. It was during this time that he urinated in his sleep and ended up wetting the passenger with his yellow “juice”.

As a result, the airline decided to press charges but the co-passenger decided not to. According to a ‘’simple flying’’ report, the pilot reported it to authorities, and they passed it on to Delhi police.
Devesh Kumar Mahla from the Delhi police (DCP), told “simply flying”: "The airline has submitted a written complaint. The victim is not coming forward.
“On the basis of the complaint, we are contemplating action under the IPC and Civil Aviation Act.
“The strongest possible action will be taken against him to deter other flyers from behaving in this manner or do any such activity in the future."
