According to news outlet ANI, Shankar Mishra’s attorney, Manu Sharma, testified before Delhi’s Patiala House Court on Wednesday that the accused of peeing on an elderly female co-passenger on an Air India aircraft did not open the bag out of a sexual urge.
Regarding Mishra’s bail application, the judge postponed making a decision. The plea asserted that the act was not motivated by sexual desire and that it was not intended to offend the complainant’s modesty, and Metropolitan Magistrate Komal Garg reserved the order on the plea.
On Saturday, a different magistrate court denied police custody of Mishra and sentenced him to a 14-day judicial remand. On November 26 of last year, the event happened in the business class of an Air India trip from New York to Delhi.
I couldn’t stop drinking, but I wasn’t doing it out of sex. According to the evidence, the complainant is not a lustful man. The individual was fired from his work as a result of these charges, but the trial will take some time.
Sharma claimed that Mishra has clearly and voluntarily cooperated with all inquiries into the alleged incident with the goal of proving his innocence and that he will continue to act in this honourable manner and support the police in their probe.
The attorney reportedly questioned the necessity of issuing a non-bailable warrant (NBW) in the case while pointing out that Mishra had not attempted to escape the inquiry process started by Air India in the matter.
