Two air hostesses of Jet Airways were allegedly molested on a Mumbai-Nagpur flight on Saturday. A written complaint was submitted to the flight captain against the accused. 
 
According to a Times of India report, the accused – Akash Gupta, a hardware trader by profession who was travelling on seat no 41E was handed over to the CISF on landing. The incident took place when the air hostesses were serving him his in-flight meal.
 
The captain, Gopalsingh Mohansingh handed Gupta to the CISF. He contacted the Sonegaon police who booked Gupta under section 354 of Indian Penal Code (IPC)for outraging the modesty of women. Cops interrogated the accused and on Sunday produced him before the court which sent him to magisterial custody. 
 
This is not the first time that such incident has been reported. Last year, a 29-year-old man from Gujarat was arrested for allegedly molesting an air hostess onboard a Mumbai-bound flight from Dammam in Saudi Arabia.
