The 38-year-old woman is an IT professional, while the man is in his 40s and was travelling to Uttar Pradesh via Hyderabad. He was allegedly drunk, according to the police.
The woman was seated with her husband, while the accused was sitting next to them on the flight. The couple was asleep before landing in Hyderabad when the woman found someone touching her inappropriately and noticed the man's hand before being alarmed.
The woman lodged a complaint with the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport police upon landing, based on which a case was registered under relevant sections of the BNS, a police official told PTI.
The accused, who was subsequently arrested, claimed he accidentally touched her, police said. A further probe is on.
