Air India Pursues Legal Action After Crew Member Assaulted in London Hotel
A female Air India cabin crew member was reportedly attacked by an intruder at a London hotel earlier this week, sources revealed.
Air India is actively coordinating with local authorities to address the incident.
In an official statement, an Air India spokesperson expressed deep concern over an “unlawful intrusion” at a hotel run by a prominent international chain, which led to one of their crew members being assaulted.
According to informed sources, a homeless man forced his way into the crew member’s hotel room, where the assault took place. Her cries for help alerted nearby guests, who intervened and managed to detain the intruder.
There are differing reports on the nature of the attack: one source indicated that it involved sexual assault, while two others suggested it was a physical assault.
The incident occurred at a high-end hotel near London Heathrow Airport, the sources further mentioned.
Air India confirmed that it is offering full support to the affected crew member and her colleagues, including access to professional counseling.
The airline also stated that it is collaborating closely with the local police to ensure the perpetrator is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and is working with the hotel management to prevent future incidents. They requested that the privacy of those involved be respected.
