Air India incident: Bengaluru police assist in Shankar Mishra's arrest

Bengaluru: The Bengaluru police on Saturday confirmed the arrest of Shankar Mishra, who allegedly urinated on a septuagenarian woman on board an Air India flight from New York to Delhi.

The accused holding a top post in the US financial services company Wells Fargo, had been holed up in Bengaluru ever since a lookout circular was issued.

"We assisted the Delhi police in picking him up. He has been picked up but we don't know whether he has been formally arrested," a top police officer told PTI.

The officer said Mishra was held from the Sanjay Nagar area.

Mishra allegedly urinated on the woman, a senior citizen, in an inebriated condition in the business class of the Air India flight from New York to Delhi on November 26 last year.
