An Indian man, 35-year-old Akash Tiwari, is sentenced to six months in jail for molesting and harassing a Singapore Airlines flight attendant during a Singapore-bound flight from Thailand. Multiple reports say the incident occurs onboard while the flight attendant is working and that Tiwari’s behaviour includes repeated unwanted physical contact or molestation, with his friends reportedly laughing during the incident. When the flight attendant goes to report the matter to her supervisor, reports add that Tiwari follows her into the galley, stands extremely close to her, and corners her, continuing to harass her despite attempts to address the situation. The flight captain reports the incident and a police report is lodged. Tiwari is arrested after the flight arrives at Changi Airport and later pleads guilty to one count each of molestation and harassment, according to the reports. One outlet also reports that the court orders Tiwari to pay compensation of about S$1,270.95, with additional days in jail if he fails to pay. The sentence is handed down on Monday.
