The video was allegedly shared yesterday by an X user, Tarun Shukla who posted, "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."

Shukla following the thread further posted a reply by the Indigo, "We are aware of the video that was circulated on social media showing an unclean corner in one of our aircraft. Our staff promptly took the necessary action onboard. As a precautionary measure, we immediately cleaned the entire fleet and carried out fumigation and disinfection procedures. At IndiGo, we maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene to ensure a safe, hassle-free experience and regret any inconvenience caused to the passengers."
IndiGo has found itself at the center of controversy several times this year, including last month when a video, showing passengers eating on the tarmac outside the plane after the flight was delayed went viral.
