In a shocking turn of events, Rajeev Shukla from Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, has detailed a distressing experience with a meal ordered from a well-known restaurant chain in Mumbai. Shukla took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to express his grievances and seek redressal for the unfortunate incident.

According to Shukla, who visited Mumbai on January 8, 2024, he ordered a vegetarian meal box from the Barbeque Nation outlet in Worli. In a distressing revelation, he claimed to have discovered a dead mouse in the food, leading to his hospitalization for "75 plus hours." Despite sharing the incident on social media, Shukla had not filed an official complaint with the Nagpada police station at the time of his tweet.

Accompanying his tweet were photos of the order receipt, the delivered package, and the alleged contaminant. Additionally, he shared a picture of himself in a hospital bed, shedding light on the severity of the situation.
