Wells Fargo VP allegedly ‘urinated’ on passenger aboard plane. Wells Fargo has been in the news lately, and this one takes the cake. Wells Fargo terminated high-ranking executive Shankar Mishra after reports alleging he urinated on a woman sitting next to him.
Mishra was on flight Air India when the alleged incident happened. According to Deutsche Welle English, Mishra was based at the bank’s corporate office in Mumbai. He allegedly got so drunk on a flight between New York and New Delhi that he urinated on a 72-year-old woman sitting next to him in first class.
Wells Fargo had this to say about Mishra’s alleged urinating incident; the company said it “holds employees to the highest standards of professional and personal behavior, and we find these allegations deeply disturbing.”
According to DW, Mishra cried and begged the victim not to make a complaint. She wanted Mishra arrested; instead, he was seated opposite her after the incident on the plane.
Mishra’s legal reps provided proof that Mishra had compensated the victim by paying for cleaning her clothing and luggage.
DW also reported that India’s aviation enforcement body was critical of how Air India handled the incident, saying that its conduct was apparently “unprofessional and has led to a systemic failure.”
