Vande Bharat Passengers Claim Finding ‘Cockroach’ in Meal, Railways Reacts

New Delhi: Amid reports of finding weird things, including dead mouse and fingers, in meals by customers, now a social media user has complained of presence of cockroach in the food served by the Vande Bharat train. 

An X user said that the meal provided to his uncle and aunt who were travelling from Bhopal to Agra in Vande Bharat on June 18 had a cockroach. 

In a post on X, an user @ViditVarshney1 wrote," Today on 18-06-24 my Uncle and Aunt were travelling from Bhopal to Agra in Vande Bharat. They got "COCKROACH" in their food from @IRCTCofficial. Please take strict action against the vendor and make sure this would not happen again @RailMinIndia @ AshwiniVaishnaw @RailwaySe (sic)." 

The post soon caught the attention of Indian Railways who apologised to the couple for the experience they had. 

The IRCTC tweeted, "Sir, We apologize for the travel experience you had. The matter has been viewed seriously and suitable penalty has  been imposed on concerned service provider. We have also intensified the production and logistics monitoring." 

This comes days after a Mumbai doctor found a human finger in an ice cream cone.
