A senior Air India pilot who was suspended in May last year after being accused of sexual harassment by a woman colleague and was found guilty by an internal committee of the airline has been reinstated recently, senior officials said.
The committee had imposed a “major penalty” on Captain Sachin Gupta, who has now appealed to a higher authority against the punishment, they said.
According P.S. Negi, Regional Director (Northern Region), Air India, “The Internal Complaints Committee [ICC] of Air India conducted the inquiry proceedings and found Captain Sachin Gupta guilty of the charges of misconduct.”
