Bhubaneswar: Cockroach omelette! How repulsive does that sound?
Imagine the plight of the Air India passenger who almost ate it, and shared with her 2-year old child.
Sharing her horrendous experience on the Delhi-New York Air India flight, journalist Suyesha Savant said that she and her two-year old had finished almost half of the omelette before discovering the cockroach in it.
Though the incident took place on September 17 on AI-101, operating from Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International airport to JFK airport, Suyesha took to social media platform X on Saturday to post the incident.
“My 2 year old finished more than half of it with me when we found this. Suffered from food poisoning as a result,” she wrote, tagging Air India, aviation regulator DGCA and Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu in her post.
