Giving clean chit to Air India pilots in the Komal Singh sexual harassment case, the National Commission for Women (NCW) on Tuesday said the air hostess was not molested but only pushed during a mid-air scuffle on an international flight. NCW member Wansuk Syiem, who was a part of the probe committee, said it is just a misbehaviour from both sides and some arguments were there, which caused this physical push by the commander to her.<br/>Ms. Syiem said in the report, which has been submitted last night, the committee has written that during the flight, the captain had called the purser Amit Khanna inside the cockpit and an argument ensued. <br/>Ms. Singh in her complaint to NCW had alleged that she was molested by Captain Ranbir Arora and his co-pilot Aditya Chopra on a Sharjah-New Delhi flight on October 3. <br/>Earlier, a five-member enquiry committee of Air India, which went into her complaint about the incident, had concluded that whatever complaint air hostess Komal Singh has made regarding sexual harassment is an after-thought. Air India had then suspended Khanna and Chopra, pending enquiry. The enquiry committee chargesheeted Komal for allegedly violating conduct rules.<br/>
