Police have arrested a 47-year-old professor for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman doctor on a Delhi-Mumbai flight, an official said on Friday.

The incident took place on Wednesday, he said. The 24-year-old victim and the accused were seated next to each other on the flight, which took off at 5.30 am from Delhi, the police official said.
