A brawl erupted between the pilots and cabin crew on an Air India flight at 30,000ft after a stewardess accused a co-pilot of sexual harassment.

The scuffle spilled from the cockpit into the galley of the Airbus A320, which was allegedly left unmanned.
The pilot of the flight from United Arab Emirates to Delhi threatened to land the plane in Pakistan.

Oh yeah, perfect reason why the government should not be involved in a business:

Air India is under fire, too, for having given free tickets to senior managers’ spouses, children, parents, brothers, sisters, and sons and daughters-in-law for more than a decade.

Air India employs about 32,000 people — twice as many as it needs to operate — and critics believe that the only way to make it more efficient is to privatise it.

Aviatrix recently had a post on that incident. Apparently, the legal term used was "Outraging the Modesty of a Woman" and while the legal translation most closely resembles what we know as sexual assault, in India the definition is much broader.
