The police have booked Rajeev Dani under Section 354A (sexual harassment) of the Indian Penal Code. He was released on bail.
The Deputy Commissioner of Police (Delhi Airport), Sanjay Bhatia, said that the accused was handed over to Indira Gandhi International Airport police staff soon after the flight landed. The airline also released a statement on the issue.
The airline said that it was "fully committed to providing cooperation to all the authorities" probing the case.
