New Delhi: The man accused of urinating on his co-passenger on New York-Delhi Air India flight has been fired by his employer US-based Wells Fargo on Friday.

According to news agency ANI, a day after Delhi Police asked the authority concerned to issue a Look Out Circular (LOC) for the accused S Mishra, who has been charged under several Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections, police on Friday reached out to the US-based company's legal department to cooperate with the ongoing investigations.

"We contacted the legal team of US-based company Wells Fargo in India to ask accused S Mishra to cooperate or join the investigation at the earliest,” ANI quoted a Delhi Police officer as saying.

“Wells Fargo holds employees to the highest standards of professional and personal behavior and we find these allegations deeply disturbing. This individual has been terminated from Wells Fargo. We are cooperating with law enforcement and ask that any additional inquiries be directed to them," the American bank said in a statement. 

Meanwhile, Delhi police issued summons to six-eight crew members, including the pilot, of the Air India flight, in the urination incident.

According to the complaint filed by the victim on Wednesday, the crew brought the accused to her seat and forced her to face him as he begged to be spared arrest.

The complainant has also alleged that the pilot vetoed giving her a seat in the first class after the incident.

"The flight crew told me that the pilot had vetoed giving me a seat in first class," the victim wrote in the complaint, as reported by ANI.

Notably, on November 26, S Mishra, allegedly drunk, unzipped and urinated on a female co-passenger onboard an Air India flight.

The police have registered an FIR in the matter under Sections 354, 509, and 510 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 23 of the Indian Aircraft Act. 

Both the accused and the victim are from outside Delhi.
