The case of molestation of Zaira Wasim in a flight has taken the country by storm and the social media was flooded with messages and comments slamming the 39 years old accused Vikas Sachdeva.
Vikas was taken into custody by the police but there is a serious twist in the matter as the airlines has sent its official response on the matter to the aviation ministry, National Commission of Women and Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
As per a report published in Economic Times, the Vistara airlines has stated that no misbehaviour was spotted by the accused during the flight and the actress and her mother refused to file an FIR when the plane landed at Mumbai airport.
Zaira claimed,
“He kept nudging my shoulder and continued to move his foot up and down my back and neck. Is this how we are going to take care of girls?”
The airline stated,
“The crew only became aware of anything untoward at the time of landing, when the actress shouted. During the flight, until the touchdown, the Vistara crew did not observe any misbehaviour, and was not informed by any person. At one point during the final descent of the flight into Mumbai airport, when the aircraft was in ‘sterile mode’ where crew cannot leave their seats as per required safety procedures, the crew hears (the teenager) speak loudly to the person seated behind her, but the crew was not aware of the subject matter of this discussion.”
When messages were sent to the actress for her response on the latest development, she didn’t respond.
The airline has also stated that the teenage actress didn’t respond when a crew member asked whether she is alright or not. The letter also read,
“We complied with the guidance/instruction of her parent with regard to the FIR.”
Here’s what journalist Jagrati Shukla tweeted,
“#ZairaWasim Case: #Vistara say that Crew did not observe any Misbehaviour by Accused during the Flight in a 2-page letter to DGCA. They added- She & her Mom did not want to complain when asked to, Zaira only shouted during landing……
#ZairaDRAMAExposed”
It seems that we are going to witness more twists and turns in this case soon. What do you say?
