New Delhi: Delhi Commission for Women chief Swati Maliwal, demanding arrests in the recent incidents of drunk men urinating on women on flights, issued a notice to the Delhi Police, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and Air India on Friday.

"Recent incidents of drunk men urinating on women on flights are extremely disgusting and shameful. It is shocking to note that the accused haven't been arrested yet. Simply banning the person isn't enough. I am issuing notices to Delhi Police, DGCA & Air India in the matter," said Swati Maliwal.
