Mangalore: A 21-year-old Malaysian student has alleged sexual harassment from a co-passenger during a flight from Bangalore to Mangalore on Tuesday morning.
According to the Bajpe police, the woman, who is a final-year dental sciences student in the city, complained of “undue advances” from Ankit Agarwal Kumar (36), during the 7 a.m. Jetconnect flight from Bangalore.
On landing around 8 a.m. in the city, she informed the Airport security staff, who called the Bajpe police. Kumar, who had taken a cab, while the complaint was being heard, was asked to return, and after questioning, has been arrested. Kumar is a sales manager at Manipal in the neighbouring Udupi district, said the police.
