Vikash Sachdev Arrested For Molesting Zaira Wasim

On December 10, Zaira Wasim, 17, said a "middle-aged man" had repeatedly moved his foot up and down her neck and back while she was "half-asleep". She documented the incident on Instagram and tried to film the man's behaviour but said it was too dark. The airline, Air Vistara carried out a detailed investigation into the incident.

A 39-year-old man was arrested on Sunday for allegedly molesting actor Zaira Wasim onboard a Delhi-Mumbai flight on Saturday night. He will be produced in the court today. Sachdev has been booked under section 354 (Assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) of IPC, and relevant sections of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) since the actor is a minor.

Earlier, Dangal actress Zaira narrated the entire incident on her Instagram handle via Live Video. She said. ""So, I just landed and you know the whole irony of this is that the guy... this is not done at all. This is not the way, this is not a girl should be made to feel because this is terrible. Is this how they are doing to take care of girls? No one will help us if we don't decide to help ourselves. This is the worst thing".
