The 26-year-old air hostess, who had lodged the complaint had caught the man viewing pornographic clips on his phone on two occasions. Both times he had the phone screen turned towards her, which made her think that he was showing her the videos on purpose. She informed her supervisor, who accompanied her to his seat and saw him viewing the clips. The supervisor then alerted the pilot, who in turn alerted the airport police, who detained him.
