Air India ‘pee gate’: ‘Unzipping wasn’t for sexual desire’, accused tells court

Shankar Mishra, who is accused of urinating on an elderly female co-passenger in a drunken state on a New York-New Delhi Air India flight in November last year, told a Delhi court on Wednesday through his lawyer, Manu Sharma, that ‘unzipping’ his pants was not for the purpose of ‘sexual desire’, and hence he cannot be considered as a ‘lustful’ man. On January 7, the court sent Mishra to 14-day judicial custody.
