In a bizarre incident, a passenger onboard Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner flight from India to Birmingham was caught for urinating in the aisle of the plane in an inebriated state.

airindiaThe incident happened last month on January 19, and now the passenger Jinu Abraham has been slapped with a fine of £1000 including £300 at the Birmingham Crown Court, and ordered to pay £500 as compensation, £30 for victim surcharge, and £185 in costs.

39-year-old Abraham was drunk at the time the incident took place. He was restrained by a baffled cabin crew who handcuffed him to keep him under control.

According to the prosecuting lawyers, Abraham had boarded the plane with his 10-year-old son. About 40 minutes prior to landing, Abraham in a drunk state started urinating on the floor and seat of the aircraft. According to reports, Abraham had no recollection of the event and said he had two whiskeys and was on anti-depressants.

According to the defence lawyer, Abraham was mentally depressed, without medication and was nervous about flying. He was also reportedly concerned about his wife who was travelling to Birmingham by another flight with their infant child. The lawyer claimed Abraham was shocked when he realised what he has done and accepted the seriousness of his offence.

Airline it self is responsible for the incident. Why airline is supplying alcohol on the board or allow to take in side. Fly with Saudia.

This is the clear indication, at least stop serving liquor in flights.
The law is responsible.

When there is a chance to consume crime motivating item, what is the guarantee, the crime will not be committed.
It is trouble to all.
It is the reason, why some countries are totally banning the liquor on their land.

Fly by Saudia, there is no liquor.

Shivamogga, Aug 9: Minister of State for Railways Suresh Angadi on Saturday virtually inaugurated Malgudi Museum at Arasalu in Karantaka's Shivamogga.

The old station building at Arasalu has been converted into museum.
BJP MP from Shivamogga BY Raghavendra said that the old station building at Arasalu has been renovated keeping with 'Malgudi' theme in mind.

"It is a tribute to the makers of the popular television serial 'Malgudi Days' as the station features predominantly in the episodes which broadcast on Doordarshan in the 1980s," he said.

The museum has been designed by a famous artist John Devraj, who was the part of the serial Malgudi Days. The Mysore Divisional Railway funded the museum.

"The approach road and station area wear a new transformed look. The innovative idea of having a tea-shop in a narrow gauge coach at Arasalu station adds charm to the green surroundings," the MP said.

"Popular and internationally acclaimed serial Malgudi Days was shot here in Arasalu. The SWR Mysore division manager Aparna Garg helped to transform the station to fictional village Malgudi," he added.

The museum is about 30 km from Shivamogga city. It has steam engines and bogies besides collections of photographs hanging on the wall taken during the time of shooting for Malgudi Days.
