A father-of-two has been jailed for sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl on a British Airways flight from Mumbai to London Heathrow, later telling cabin crew he believed she was his wife.

Javed Inamdar, 34, was convicted at Isleworth Crown Court of assaulting a child under 13 by touching, following an incident on 14 December last year. The man was seated beside the girl during the overnight flight and, according to prosecutors, repeatedly stroked her hand 'to test the waters' before groping her as she slept.
