The Mumbai police has filed an FIR against unknown persons in the Zaira Wasim molestation case. A case under Section 354 of the IPC and under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act was filed.

Earlier, the 17-year-old star of Dangal and Secret Superstar, took to social media to share the horror of being subjected to sexual harassment on a Mumbai-bound flight, following which the Civil Aviation Ministry and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation sought details from Air Vistara.

In an Instagram Live video, during which she broke down several times, Zaira said she was on an Air Vistara flight from Delhi to Mumbai when a co-passenger sitting behind her put up his feet on her armrest. When she objected, the man reportedly claimed he was resting his feet due to "turbulence".

To her horror, he allegedly started caressing her neck while she was asleep. Zaira said she tried to record the harassment when she felt his hand, but couldn't as the lights were dim.
