NEW DELHI: American Airlines has banned an Indian passenger after he urinated on a fellow passenger under the influence of alcohol on a New York-New Delhi flight.
The accused, identified as 21-year-old Arya Vohra, a student at an American university, has been suspended by the airline.
The airline said in a statement that it will not allow the passenger on board in the future.
