New Delhi: An Air India air hostess has alleged "Harvey Weinstein-like" sexual harassment by a senior executive, prompting civil aviation minister Suresh Prabhu to ask the airline to take immediate steps to address the issue.

The air hostess took to Twitter to allege that the senior executive had sexually harassed her for six years.

"This senior executive is a predator and has sexually propositioned me, abused me, used abusive languages on other women in my presence, spoken of sexual acts with me and other women in my presence in office premises," she tweeted.

"He has insulted me and denied me positions and privileges after I rejected his advances and he had made my life a misery at work and continues to do so."

The air hostess said she had filed a complaint with Air India in September last year and had written to the then CMD.

"Sadly the AI woman's cell did nothing to act on the issue and dragged their feet," the air hostess, who is a single mother, said.

In a letter addressed to Prabhu and also marked to the Prime Minister, she has sought a "neutral" investigation committee. She said she would reveal the name of the executive if she gets an audience with the minister.
