A man who molested a Singapore Airlines stewardess as his friends laughed, then cornered her alone in the aircraft galley, has been jailed for six months in Singapore.

The victim repeatedly told the man to stay away, but he smirked and continued his advances.

Akash Tiwari was also ordered to pay US$982 in compensation to the victim who told him not to touch her, but he smirked instead of apologising.
