Indian man charged for molesting crew member on Singapore Airlines flight
The incident occurred on a flight from Australia in February
Rajat, who goes by one name, allegedly placed his hands on her hip near the buttock area during a Singapore Airlines flight on February 28.
Court documents indicate that the incident occurred on a flight from Australia. There is a gag order on the victim’s identity and any details that might lead to her identification.
Appearing in court on Tuesday, Rajat, a 20-year-old Indian national, said he intended to plead guilty.
In a media release on Monday, the Singapore Police Force said preliminary investigations found that during the flight, the victim was escorting a female passenger to the toilet when she noticed a piece of tissue paper on the floor.
As the flight attendant bent forward to pick it up, the man allegedly appeared behind her, grasped her and pushed her into the lavatory with him, police said.
