Air India admits presence of blade in passenger's meal

IN the ongoing long list of pitiable services offered by Air India, the airline has now admitted the presence of a "foreign object", believed to be a metal blade, in a meal that was served to a passenger last week.

Mathures Paul, a journalist, on June 10 had written on X that a metal piece that looked like a blade was hiding in his in-flight meal from Bengaluru to San Francisco. He wrote, "I got a feel of it only after chewing the grub for a few seconds. Thankfully, no harm was done... What if the metal piece was in food served to a child?"

Paul on Sunday added that the stewardess apologised for exactly three seconds and came back with a bowl of chickpeas. He also alleged that a few days later, the airline mailed to say he could take a business class trip anywhere in the next year. "That is a bribe and I don't accept it," he said.
