A passenger who took an Air India flight from Delhi to New York on September 17 has complained that she found a cockroach in one of the meals served by the airline.
She claimed that she had eaten an omelette and unknowingly fed her two-year-old toddler the same dish, unaware of the cockroach hidden inside.
When she discovered it later, she was horrified. Both of them suffered from food poisoning as a result.
