A 28-year-old Indian doctor has been arrested for allegedly groping a minor girl who was sitting next to him on a New Jersey-bound United Airlines flight, according to media reports. The man, identified as Vijakumar Krishnappa, sitting next to her quickly removed his hand, according to a federal court complaint, and the teenager went back to sleep. Once the flight from Seattle landed at Newark Liberty International Airport, the girl, from Washington state, called her parents. The girl's family has filed a complaint against United Airlines for neglecting to detain Krishnappa after the alleged assault, the report said. We take these allegations seriously and continue to work closely with the proper authorities as part of their review," a spokesperson for United Airlines said in a statement.
