An Indian national has been charged with sexual assault after allegedly attacking a fellow passenger during a Scoot Airlines flight from Singapore to Perth, Australia, on Monday.
Sudhir Kumar Chahuan, 52, was taken into custody by the Australian Federal Police upon landing in Perth after the alleged assault was reported by the victim to airline staff during the flight. According to the AFP, Chahuan allegedly sexually assaulted the woman seated next to him while the aircraft was in transit. After the victim reported the incident, airline staff moved her to a different seat and kept the suspect under watch for the remainder of the flight while alerting law enforcement ahead of landing.
