A 40-year-old Indian national, who was found guilty of molesting a stewardess on board a flight, was sent to jail for four months on Friday after his appeal against the conviction was rejected by a court here.

Vijayan Mathan Gopal was found guilty in August last year on three counts of outraging the 22-year-old stewardess' modesty while on board a Scoot flight from Cochin to Singapore on November 2, 2017. He was jailed for four months for the crime in September last year. Gopal had filed an appeal against the conviction.
