Tata Group and Air India stand by safety and well-being of its passengers and crews with full conviction

He further stated that Tata Group and Air India stand by the safety and well-being of our passenger and crew with full conviction and informed that processes would be reviewed so as not to let such incidents happen in the future.

Air India just made a police report this week, claiming that because "no additional flare-up or altercation" occurred and because the crew decided not to notify law enforcement upon landing, following the apparent wishes of the female passenger. Mishra was prohibited from flying for 30 days, which outraged social media users who claimed it was insufficient.

Six weeks after the event, on Friday, the Delhi Police detained Shankar Mishra. Later, a Delhi judge committed him to judicial detention for a period of 14 days, ruling that additional inquiry did not call for police custody.
