'Instead of being remorseful..': Air India peegate victim rubbishes Mishra's claim she peed on herself

"The said allegations are also in complete contradiction and a complete volte-face of the statements and the pleaded case of the accused in his bail application," she has said, according to NDTV.

In a U-turn, Mishra made the stunning claim in response to a notice by the sessions court on an application by the Delhi Police requesting custody for questioning him.

The court sent him to a 14-day judicial remand on Saturday, rejecting the police's request for custody.

The complainant’s lawyers said her intention throughout has been to ensure that institutional changes are made "so that no individual has to go through the horrendous experience that the victim suffered".

Instead of being remorseful for the "utterly disgusting act committed by him, he has adopted a campaign of spreading misinformation and falsities with the intent of further harassing the victim," she added.

Mishra was only arrested last week after he unzipped his pants and urinated on the 72-year-old woman seated in business class on November 26.

After the incident came to light, it elicited outrage throughout the country with many people asserting that a 30-day ban by Air India was too little a measure against the alleged obscene act.

In response to the incident, Mishra’s employer Wells Fargo fired him as he went absconding following a lookout notice by Delhi Police over an FIR lodged by Air India.
