Amandeep Singh, a 36-year-old man from Perth, Australia, has just been sentenced to 20 months in jail for “vicious and humiliating” behavior. Specifically, he meet a Qatar Airways flight attendant on a flight between Doha and Perth back in 2016, and they developed a relationship. Unfortunately it didn’t end well.
The problem was that in addition to his new girlfriend, the guy also had a wife, and they didn’t know about one another. Here’s the background on that:
- The two met during a 2016 flight, and Singh told her that he was single
- The flight attendant would frequently work flights to Perth to see him, and the relationship lasted for about 18 months
- Things soured when Singh’s wife, mother, and two children found out that he had a secret girlfriend on the side
- In February 2018, the wife contacted the girlfriend on Instagram to alert her that Singh actually had a family in Perth
- At this point Singh told his wife that he ended his relationship with his girlfriend, and told his girlfriend that he was going to leave his wife
- Singh’s wife then caught him on a video call with his girlfriend, so the wife contacted the girlfriend again
- Singh asked the girlfriend not to say anything to his wife, but she decided to tell the truth (about how she was being lied to)
The two met on a Qatar Airways Doha to Perth flight
Rather than realizing at this point that he messed up and that this was his fault, he started harassing his (now) ex-girlfriend:
- Singh harassed her on Instagram and threatened to “ruin” her and have her fired from Qatar Airways
- In late 2019 he sent a video of him having sex with the woman to her “deeply conservative” brother in India
- That same day he tried to contact her 181 times
- Two weeks later, he sent another sexually explicit video to her father
- He uploaded that video to PornHub, along with her personal identification documents, listing the woman’s name and address
- He filed a complaint with Qatar Airways claiming she was prostituting herself and arranging for colleagues to sleep with passengers
Singh claimed the flight attendant was arranging for crew to sleep with passengers
This is so beyond screwed up that my jaw is on the floor reading this.
The flight attendant reported the situation to the Australian Federal Police, and he was arrested days later, charged with using a carriage service to menace, harass, or cause offense. His actions were considered to be a form of domestic violence and bullying, and the judge in the case said that this was “beyond mere rage” and designed to punish the woman for being honest about the affair.
Singh has been sentenced to 20 months in jail, with 10 months behind bars, and 10 months on a good behavior bond. He has lost his job, and is going through a divorce with his wife.
Bottom line
This man’s actions are horrible on a completely different level, and I’m happy there was some justice here.
I can’t imagine how hard this kind of “revenge” would be to go through under normal circumstances, let alone in her circumstances — not only did she have a very conservative family, but she worked for Qatar Airways. The sadness and fear she must have felt…
I hope she has recovered from this, and that the guy has some time to think about his actions in jail.
To the post about this blog being borderline unacceptable. I totally disagree. It is a subject connected to a field we obviously all follow and will hopefully be read by someone who may be in a similar position, and now has a chance to see the real world consequences, and hopefully handle it better than this person did.
20 years is less for what he has done, trying to spoil an innocent girl's life. He should rot in the jail.
That is just one of many cases of harrasment and Violoncello as Well as abuse towards cabin Crew members.his behaviour is not acceptable and the 20 months should have been 40
Lucky, seriously, I really like your blog and reed it almost daily for many years now.
But do you really think this kind of tabloid story is the right content for your blog? And you even wrote the full name of the person. I know this is common practice in many countries, but take a look at how any kind of offenders are handled in your father’s birth country. It’s definitely a much more...

You’re just asking for scandal, embarrassment and clicks (=money) with a post like this. Despite corona, I do not believe you need to drop to that level...
Hopefully we’ll all be out of this mess soon and you can get back to producing valuable, meaningful content.

It was reported on an Australian news website. Most court cases are available to the public which is probably where they got it from. Just click on the blue link in the article, this indicates when someone is getting the information from another source. Is this your first time reading an article on the internet? I'm not understanding how you do not know this?
This bloody sing was absolutely disgusting, unhuman, coward, and absolutely untrustworthy for everyone. He should have been sentenced for the life time. I am fully on the flight attendants side. And my full support is with her.
This wouldn't have ended the same way if reported in India or Qatar, glad the woman went through the Australian courts and thankfully she got some justice. I hope there have been no repercussions for her with family, in India or Qatar.
How is 20 months enough for a crime like this?
Minimum 5 to 7 years.Also a civil suit should be filed compensation for all the vile things done,reputation videos,personal misleading,lying,and threats, information for one and all to see etc.
A good lawyer will be able to strip him financially and if he fails to pay he would be looking at a further jail sentence
The young lady should join forces with the wife,and together act as one to make him pay till he...

This sort of behaviour is needs to be dealt very firmly by the justice system
My advice girl,if you are reading this post is
Hold your head high,dont allow this previous incident against you go unnoticed because you are ashamed or afraid or it's not done by girls from where you come from be Bold and make him pay get a good lawyer,use all the money,it will come back to you when u win AndWin you will the case.
Good luck
Minimum 5 to 7 years plus civil suit to the tune of 1 million $ +
The young lady should shed her fear and shyness,and find a good lawyer and sue the hell out of him.
He should be stripped financially and reduced to life on the streets
Go girl, fight back you have not done Nothing wrong,you were Misled.Get together with his wife and both can STRIP HIM and make an...

Trust me no one will dare point fingers at you girl.This way your reputation will be reinstated. Good luck
At the bottom of the page it says "This site is for entertainment purposes only." Keep that in mind please and tone down your feigned outrage. BTW, I was entertained!
tut tut, @Bob M ! Everyone knows about Trump's sordid extra-marital affairs, misogeny, and general abuse and debasement of women, and don't give a #&^%, and will still happily vote for him.
So no need to bring it up here; it's all old news.
Indians are dodgy
No matter what happened wirh/to him, the poor Crew was most likely fired and packed off to her home country. Qatar Airways' image is more important than the rights and dignity of its crew.
Assuming by his name, he is a Sikh (an awesome minority religion), proving being part of one has nothing to do with ones shetty character.
If only an equivalent like Jailhub was a thing, that would be sweet karma for this guy.
Is 10 months in jail actually enough time? I am concerned with what he might be capable of doing on getting out of jail...will she be safe. He seems quite unhinged and dangerous.
And thank you WR2 for your comment....I love it.
Accidents can happen.
My sympathy is with the flight attendant.
The man was given every chance to build a new life. Instead of which he became confused and abusive.
Qatar is the world's nicest airline.
This blog has been hitting new lows for a while now. When I first came here a couple years ago it was much more upbeat. This post obviously has nothing to do with points and travel that has any use to anyone here. I'm beginning to think that Ben actually likes to stir the pot, then sit back and watch people fight about things. It has negative value to those of us that come here and it is not one of his better traits.
I sympathise with the flight attendant. Qatar is a wonderful airline. Its staff are very genuine. It is heart warming that such a romace could have happened. The silly man could have cast off the chains of matrimony and stepped up to a happy future.
I shall continue to fly Qatar with love!

Bob M another deranged liberal. People like you are the reason I left the Democratic Party after life long support! I truly feel bad for this woman and am glad they jailed this creep.
I agree with @Nathan and others that there is nothing here except graphic gossip. The only thing that even vaguely connects it to an airline blog is the mention of Qatar.
IMO it's a new low on this blog and serves only as clickbait to bring the ugly trolls like Bob out of the cave.
All these are from reliable sources or Ben peddling your version? Hard to believe this story. Sad if it's true. The graphical details could've been better worded.
I'm waiting for Emirates to invite this guy to become a complimentary Skywards Platinum member. Show how they care about the 'right' people in this world. He certainly fits the credentials of a majority of Emirates' sleazbag Indian leadership squad.
181 calls in a day. That’s one call per 2 minutes for 6 hours straight. This guy made a full time job out of harassing someone when he was a lying cheater. He was trying to destroy the poor woman’s life in every way. He should be getting way more than 10 months...
Considering the damage he's done, 10 months seems too light.
This man ruined her life. Reputation is important. The video and her info is out there on the internet forever. How appalling to send the video to brother and her father. The punishment is too lenient.
@lucky @tiffany
the user Bob M ip address needs to be banned from this site. his comment has nothing in any way to do with the story and is hate filled
With this story, Ben takes yet another step toward becoming the Perez Hilton of travel blogging.
Sad and 10 months seem very short for the action and ongoing impact. Countries need to look into their existing laws on these sort of things
The commenters blaming this on Trump. Wow. Just wow.
Bob M - For when your TDS is so strong literally anything can be linked to Trump.
As WR2 said. Seek professional help
@Bob M - How disgusting are you? Do you know what the FA must be going through? QR could have brutally treated her! (If you didn't read reports of FAs being treated harshly in Doha). She could've been fired! Why the hell are you politicizing this post? Why Trump? Why America? HOW-
This deplorable guy has got his just dues from the justice system.
Maybe he should sign up to be someone's Michael Cohen replacement.
upgraded to a lie flat layover seat. noice
Unhinged liberal Bob manages to make any story about Trump. Seek help for your TDS. Or just go riot and commit violence and destruction, either way.
Did he fly business class? No mention of the credit cards he was using?
Just trying to figure out how this has anything to do with premium travel or credit cards.
So this guy lied to both women, committed adultery, harassed his ex-girlfriend with threats, revenge porn and tried to get her fired from her job too. Like wow! With a CV like that I would not be surprised if he becomes the Republican challenger in 2023 after Trump gets the boot this year. Make America Gross Again!!
i hope lightning strikes him before he even managed to get into jail.. hope that he feels a gazillion times the pain he had caused to that poor woman. This just tells you that the world is round.. whatever u do, comes back around to haunt you.. may this human waste live his life forever in misery... amen!!!!!
He should count himself lucky that the prosecution was in Western Australia rather than Qatar.
With how strict Qatar Airways is with their FAs image and everything, any word if Qatar Airways kept her on or did the let her go?
