AI urination case: Woman urinated on her seat, accused tells court

Shankar Mishra, accused of urinating on a woman on board an Air India Flight from New York to New Delhi flight on Friday told a Delhi Court that he did not commit the offence and submitted that the complainant herself could have peed on her own seat.The accused through senior lawyer Ramesh Gupta submitted, “The complainant woman’s seat was blocked. It wasn’t possible for him (Mishra) to go there. The woman has a problem of incontinence. She urinated on herself. She is a Kathak dancer, 80 per cent of kathak dancers have this issue.”Raising questions over the Delhi Police investigation, senior advocate Ramesh Gupta submitted that there must be someone else. “She herself urinated. The seating system was such that no one could go to her seat. The passenger sitting behind the complainant did not make any such complaint,” he added.On this, Additional Sessions Judge Harjyot Singh Bhalla observed that “It is not impossible to go from one side of the flight to the other. Sorry, but I have travelled as well. Anybody from any row can come around and go to any seat.
