‘Further harassment’: Woman refutes Shankar Mishra’s ‘peed on herself’ claim

Air India Pee-gate update: In the surprising turn of event to the 26 November Air India New York to Delhi flight pee-gate scandal, accused Shankar Mishra had on Friday mentioned that the elderly woman had urinated on herself and he was not to blame. 

The woman on Saturday refuted Mishra’s claim and called them “completely false and concocted and by their very nature are disparaging and derogatory”.

“The allegations are completely false and concocted and by their very nature are disparaging and derogatory. The said allegations are also in complete contradiction and a complete volte face of the statements and the pleaded case of the accused in his bail application,” advocate Ankur Mahindro, representing the complainant, said in a statement.

He added, “The accused, instead of being remorseful for the utterly disgusting act committed by him, has adopted a campaign of spreading misinformation and falsities with the intent of further harassing the victim.”

Mishra’s counsel, Manu Sharma, while arguing against a police petition seeking revision of an order passed by a magisterial court refusing his custodial interrogation, on Friday claimed that he did not commit the offence, and that she herself urinated.

Shankar Mishra was the Vice President of American Financial Company Wells Fargo’s India chapter.

Mishra’s counsel had told the court that the complainant was suffering from some disease related to prostate, which several ‘kathak dancers’ seem to suffer from.

“I (Mishra) am not the accused. There must be someone else. It seems she herself urinated. She was suffering from some disease related to prostate, which several ‘kathak dancers’ seem to suffer from. It was not him. The seating system was such that no one could go to her seat. Her seat could only be approached from behind, and in any case the urine could not reach to seat’s front area. Also, the passenger sitting behind the complainant did not make any such complain,” senior advocate Ramesh Gupta, appearing for Mishra, told the judge.

Additional Sessions Judge Harjyot Singh Bhalla disposed of the police application saying police can approach the magisterial court with its application afresh.
