Air India has apologized to a passenger who claims to have found a dead cockroach cooked into his in-flight meal.

Rohit Raj Singh Chauhan, a passenger aboard Saturday’s Air India Flight 634 between Bhopal and Mumbai, claims he informed the airline's crew of the alleged find, but was initially ignored.

"Since the crew members were not listening, I returned it to them. I even objected to their serving food to others, but to no avail,” Chauhan told The Times of India. A manager with Air India also disputed Chauhan's claims, the outlet reported.

Multiple pictures of Chauhan’s entrée, which appeared to show the roach Chauhan allegedly found within his dish of sambar, were later shared to Twitter by fellow passenger Manoj Khandekar, according to The Independent.
