Zaira Wasim Allegedly Molested On Vistara Flight
The "Dangal" actor narrated her ordeal on Instagram via live video.
In the video, which she recorded immediately after deboarding the flight, Wasim broke down several times.
"This is not done, I am disturbed...Is this how you're going to take
care of girls? This is not the way anybody should be made to feel. This
is terrible!" she said. "No one will help us if we don't decide to help ourselves. And this is the worst thing," she added.
Zaira said she was on an Air Vistara flight
from Delhi to Mumbai when a co-passenger sitting behind her put up his
feet on her armrest and repeatedly moved his foot up and down her neck and back while she was "half-asleep".
Zaira first posted a picture of the man's foot, which was on her seat.
The airline, Air Vistara, said it was carrying out a detailed investigation into the incident.
The man has been identified as Vikash Sachdev, news agency PTI reported. Deputy Commissioner of Police Anil Kumbhare said he will be produced in court on Monday.
The businessman has been booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act or POCSO besides other sections of the law, senior police officer Lata Shirsat said.
Last year, Ms Wasim made her acting debut in Dangal, which became the top-grossing Bollywood movie of all time.
She was awarded the National Child Award for Exceptional Achievement earlier this year by India's President Ram Nath Kovind.
