A Vice President at Wells Fargo
WFC,
has been fired after he reportedly urinated on a fellow passenger during an Air India flight to New Delhi in November.
The banker was reportedly inebriated, according to Asian News International citing Air India, when he allegedly urinated on a 72-year-old woman. Wells Fargo confirmed to MarketWatch the banker involved was named Shankar Mishra.
“Wells Fargo holds employees to the highest standards of professional and personal behavior and we find these allegations deeply disturbing,” the financial-services company said in a statement last week.
The bank’s statement did not refer to an employee by name but said the VP involved in the incident during the Air India flight to Delhi from New York no longer works at the company. “This individual has been terminated from Wells Fargo,” read the statement.

Mishra had been vice president of Wells Fargo’s operations in India. Mishra’s father was quoted as having said, “I don’t think he would have done this.”
Air India has reportedly placed Mishra’s name on its “no-fly” list for 30 days, although the company did not mention him by name, according to Asian News International, and said that local law enforcement had been notified of the situation.
In 2022, 823 investigations were initiated by the Federal Aviation Administration about unruly passenger behavior, down from 1,099 in 2021. Still, those numbers are far higher than the 183 unruly-passenger investigations in 2020 and the 146 investigations in prepandemic 2019.
Overall, the incidence of unruly passenger behavior is far higher than the number of investigations — there were 2,359 reports of unruly passengers in 2022, down from 5,981 in 2021. More than 70% of the 2021 incidents were mask-related.
