According to Kumar, the urinating incident was a collective failure as the "case was not reported and people tried to cover it up". New Delhi: Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) Chief Arun Kumar on Sunday called urinating incident on Air India “unfortunate” and also admitted to the fact that there were efforts to cover it up which was not needed. Speaking to the media, Kumar said that it shouldn’t have happened in the first place, however, it was an “unfortunate incident”. He also held Air India’s lack of enforcement as the reason why that incident got escalated. According to Kumar, the urinating incident was a collective failure as the “case was not reported and people tried to cover it up”. There was no need for that as it had happened due to somebody’s mischief and the airlines just had to report the incident, the DGCA said while speaking to the media. The DGCA had imposed a Rs 30 lakh fine on Air India and suspended the license of the pilot-in-command for three months, in the aftermath of the urinating incident, where a male passenger had urinated over a woman passenger aboard a New York-New Delhi flight on November 26, 2022.
