A passenger on Air India 's Bhopal-Mumbai flight AI-634 allegedly found a dead cockroach in the food served on board on Saturday morning.

Rohit Raj Singh Chauhan said he complained to the crew, but to no avail. He then took to social media, with a photo of a cockroach lying in his plate of idli-vada-sambar. He also filed a complaint with the authorities at the Mumbai airport.

"It was found in the sambar served in the aircraft. I informed the Air India crew, but they ignored me," Chauhan said. "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," he added.

Air India manager Rajendra Malhotra, however, refuted the claim, saying they had not got any complaint in Bhopal .
