Mumbai: The city police has registered a FIR (first information report) against a US citizen of Indian origin for allegedly smoking in the aircraft toilet, misbehaving with flight crew and attempting to yank open the door mid-air.


According to information, US citizen Ratnakar Trivedi (37), flying on an Air India London-Mumbai flight, was found smoking a cigarette in toilet of the aircraft, following which an alarm was sounded and immediately aircrew went there, but he allegedly misbehaved with them.

As his behaviour seemed to go out of control, the flight crew managed to pin him down, dumped him on his seat and tied up his hands and legs for the remainder of his journey.

The crew then told the police that the passenger behaved in a wild and uncontrolled manner aboard the flight, he was detected smoking in the toilet, even though smoking is banned on Indian flights.

Meanwhile, the Sahar Police, which detained Trivedi, has lodged a case against him invoking various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Aircraft Act.
