The Delhi police on Saturday said that Shankar Mishra, the man who urinated on a woman on a New York-Delhi Air India flight in November, has been arrested from Bengaluru.

Three teams were working on the case including one in Mumbai, another in Bengaluru , where the man was traced to ,and the third in Delhi providing technical support.

The incident took place on November 26 when Mihsra, allegedly drunk, urinated on a woman. She informed the Air India and claimed their response was unprofessional.

Air India informed Delhi Police about the incident on December 28 after which police contacted the woman but she said that her complaint to Air India should be considered her original complaint. The Delhi police registered the case on Wednesday, however, Mishra had been evading arrest since. On Friday, he was sacked by his employer, Wells Fargo, which termed the allegations against him as "disturbing."
