A British businessman who threatened to “gang-rape” and set fire to a flight attendant has had his jail sentence tripled after an appeals court ruled it was far too lenient.
Salman Iftikhar, 37, was traveling first class from London Heathrow to Lahore with his three children and one of his wives in February 2023 when he turned violent midair.
After downing champagne and helping himself to ice from the on-board bar, crew members told him to return to his seat.
When told to stop, the defendant became irate, and started to film cabin crew with his phone, telling them, ‘Do not tell me what to do, you b—h,’” a court heard.

Should have hog-tied and handcuffed him, thrown out of the plane at 35,000 feet into the ocean. No parachute. Tender morsels for the sharks, awaiting.

Oh, he's "British", is he? Must come from that long line of "British" with the surname Iftakhar. I understand they're from somewhere east of London-way east, like Pakistan.

I would sincerely hope that he has also received a lifetime ban from flying except as a passenger on a plane he might personally own?

Don't tell our b----hes what to do, pakifreak. Save it for your repressive country / culture.
His heinous behavior was not because he's a millionaire, but because of his misogynist culture. Whoever wrote / approved the headline, deserves to be dragged trough Lahore in a skimpy bikini

Agree with ALL of the above posters!
Make sure he serves his complete sentence.... in solitary, then revoke whatever British citizenship status he has and kick his backside back to Butt-Humpistan where he belongs!

Can the airline and/or the flight attendant sue him in civil court?

fta: Police arrested Iftikhar the following month at his home in Iver, Buckinghamshire.
He later pleaded guilty to threats to kill and racially aggravated harassment, with the court hearing he had already had six previous convictions for 15 offenses — including common assault and drunken driving.

6 previous convictions for 15 offenses... honey, this isn't "mental health" he is just a vicious bastid that needs to be disposed of... painfully.

Never been in a British jail, but pretty sure his days of luxury dining are over for a few years.
No way this guy gets out on good behavior.
Be kind of ironic if at least one of his guards is a woman.
