A passenger with 2-year-old boy travellers said they were partially consuming food before they spotted the crocodile, causing food poisoning. He posted a video and pictures of the meal on social media to tag Air India, DGCA and Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu.
"My 2 year old finished more than half of it with me when we found this. Suffered from food poisoning as a result," the passenger said on X.

Commitment to customer safety and meal quality
Air India stressed its commitment to customer safety and high food quality standards. The airline said it would implement necessary actions based on the investigation to prevent such incidents from happening again on future flights.
