Mishra allegedly urinated on the woman, a senior citizen, in an inebriated condition in the business class of the Air India flight from New York to Delhi on November 26 last year.

The accused holding a top post in the US financial services company Wells Fargo, had been holed up in Bengaluru ever since a lookout circular was issued.

"We assisted the Delhi police in picking him up. He has been picked up but we don't know whether he has been formally arrested," a top police officer told PTI.

The officer said Mishra was held from the Sanjay Nagar area.

Delhi Police registered an FIR against Mishra on January 4 on a complaint given by the woman to Air India.
