According to a report in the Times of India, Dulal was supposed to board a connecting flight to Dhaka from Mumbai. After being arrested, he was handed over to Sahar police.

The lawyer also said that Dulal could not understand English and Hindi. Speaking about the incident, an officer from Sahar police station said, "Dulal was arrested based on the complaint from the 22-year-old flight attendant for hugging her and trying to kiss her onboard. He even flashed at a flight supervisor and other onboard passengers when they intervened."

The officer also said that Dulal did not listen to the captain, who read out a Red Warning Card and declared him an unruly passenger. In her complaint, the 22-year-old flight attendant said that the accused signalled her when she was collecting food plate trays from other passengers. Mumbai: Man Flashes Private Parts to a Girl at ATM, Arrested With The Help of Her Video.
