India, May 15 -- A 20-year-old Indian national was sentenced to three weeks in jail on Wednesday after he molested a stewardess on board a Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight travelling to Changi airport from Perth.

At 11.20 am on February 28, the stewardess was cleaning one of the restrooms and bent down to pick up a piece of toilet paper on the floor. The man, named Rajat, had allegedly grabbed the stewardess from behind and pushed her into the flight's restroom with him.

"As she did so, (Rajat) approached her and placed both his hands on her hips, near her buttocks. He then pushed his way into the toilet, causing the victim to enter the toilet as well," said Deputy Public Prosecutor Eugene Lau, as quoted by The Straits Times.
