The airline added that Vohra was repeatedly arguing with the operating crew and was not willing to be seated. As he continued to ague and disturb the safety of fellow passengers, he urinated on his co-passenger, the American Airlines said.

The pilot alerted the Air Traffic Control about the incident before landing. Central Industrial Security Force personnel took Vohra out of the aircraft after the aircraft landed.

The airlines has also filed a complaint against Vohra with the police, Delhi airport Deputy Commissioner of Police Devesh Kumar Mahla said, reported PTI. Vohra lives in Defence Colony area of the national capital.
