Air India sets up enquiry against captain for sexually harassing woman pilot

Air India is investigating a senior captain for alleged sexual harassment after a woman pilot complained against him to the management, a spokesperson of the state-run carrier said.

The spokesperson said the woman pilot in her complaint to the management said the senior caption asked her several "inappropriate questions".

"The instructor reportedly suggested the two to have dinner at a city restaurant in Hyderabad on May 5 after the training session was over. I agreed as I had done a few flights with him and he seemed decent. We went to a restaurant at around 8 pm and this is where my ordeal started," the woman said in her complaint.

"He started with telling me how depressed and unhappy he was in his married life. He also asked me how I coped with my husband living away and whether I didn't need to have sex every day... At some point, I told him I did not want to talk about all this and called a cab," the complaint by the woman said.
