An IndiGo passenger had an unpleasant surprise during a recent flight when they discovered a group of cockroaches in the food area. The incident was brought to light by journalist Tarun Shukla, who shared a video of the unsanitary conditions on social media. “Cockroaches and in the food area of a plane (anywhere for that matter) are just truly awful. One hopes @IndiGo6E takes a hard look at its fleet and checks how did this even happen given that it normally flies relatively new @Airbus A320s,” Journalist Tarun Shukla wrote on X.

“Slowly they’ll chew the wiring too and cause a crash!,” a user wrote. Another one commented, “Arey bhai inhone bhi ticket kharidi hai.” “Wonder if there is serious rodent check and disinfection carried out in their flts [flights],” a third user commented. “Wonder if there is serious rodent check and disinfection carried out in their flts [flights],” a fourth one commented.
