Omar seeks punishment for Zaira s alleged molestor
Srinagar Dec 10 (IANS) Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Sunday demanded punishment for the passenger who allegedly molested Bollywood actress Zaira Wasim on board a Vistara Airlines Delhi-Mumbai flight.
Abdullah tweeted: "The passenger should be identified to the police by @airvistara and a case filed for legal action. None of this he fell at my feet so I forgive him rubbish!".
His statement comes after the 17-year-old National Award winning Kashmiri actress complained about her ordeal claiming that a middle-aged man seated behind her moved his foot up and down her neck and back.
The National Commission for Women (NCW) has urged the "Dangal" star to lodge a police complaint.
Vistara Airlines has said it will investigate.
"We have seen the reports regarding Zaira Wasim s experience... We are carrying out detailed investigation and will support Zaira in every way required. We have zero tolerance for such behaviour " read a post on the Airlines Twitter page.
