A doctor faces obscenity charges after he allegedly masturbated and ejaculated on a flight in front of a 14-year-old girl.
The incident happened on an internal United States flight between Hawaii and Boston in May last year, according to the Department of Justice.
Dr Sudipta Mohanty, 33, an internal medicine and primary care doctor from Boston, is said to have carried out the shocking act on Hawaiian Airlines Flight 90 from Honolulu in front of the girl, who was travelling with her grandparents, reports Law & Crime.

The DoJ said he “masturbated and exposed his penis within view of the 14-year-old female passenger”, and the poor girl was forced to witness “white stuff”.
Mohanty is accused of lewd, indecent and obscene acts. He was said to be travelling with a woman, who was apparently asleep during the alleged crime.
The criminal complainant states: “The companion was sleeping on Mohanty’s shoulder. Mohanty had covered himself with a blanket up to his neck. Minor A noticed that Mohanty’s leg was bouncing up and down.
“Minor A was not really sure why that was but did not think anything of it. Minor A then got up and went to the restroom. When Minor A returned to her seat, Mohanty then got up and went to the restroom. He returned to his seat soon thereafter.”
The doctor is then said to have begun playing with himself again.
“At that point Minor A observed that the blanket that had been covering Mohanty was now off him and on the floor,” the court document stated.
“Minor A could see that Mohanty was masturbating. Mohanty’s pants were unzipped and Minor A could see his ‘genitals’.
“He was ‘using his hand to go up and down’. The man then ejaculated. Minor A saw ‘white stuff’ that went on him. The man then zipped his pants back up, got up and went to the restroom.”
The stunned girl’s grandparents were also asleep at the time, so she found another woman to sit with and tried not to “freak” anyone else out. She later told her mum and her grandmother about it.
When the FBI quizzed Mohanty in May this year, he “appeared visibly nervous in that his hands and voice trembled”, but he denied the allegations.
The doc appeared in federal court on Thursday, where he was conditionally released.
A spokesperson for Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre in Boston told Law & Crime: “This individual is on leave and not currently practising at BIDMC.”
