IndiGo Passenger Claims Discovery of Screw in Sandwich Given on Flight, Netizens React

New Delhi: A post on Reddit has ignited a wave of concern and outrage after user 'MacaroonIll3601' alleged to have discovered a screw embedded in a sandwich served on an IndiGo flight. According to the post, the incident took place on February 1 while the IndiGo flight was en route from Bengaluru to Chennai. However, the user only consumed the sandwich after disembarking from the plane.

In a detailed account shared on the platform, 'MacaroonIll3601' recounted the shock and dismay upon finding ‘screw’ in their meal. Despite promptly contacting the airline to report the issue, IndiGo purportedly dismissed the complaint, citing the consumption of the sandwich post-flight as grounds for ineligibility.
