Ordering different food from different cafes, restaurants, and eateries is one of our favourite things to do. Just sit and relax at your home and get parcels delivered to the doorstep. While the experience of enjoying it is great, the unhygienic practices behind the scenes of preparing food can turn out to be the scariest incidents. In a recent incident, a man had to be hospitalised after finding a dead rat in his food.
Man Who Spotted A Dead Rat In His Order Was Hospitalised For Over 75 Days
Taking to the X (formerly Twitter) platform, Rajeev Shukla claimed to find a dead rat in the veg meal box ordered from Barbeque Nation in Worli.

The man from Uttar Pradesh fell terribly sick after seeing the rat inside a curry served in the meal box. Though he spotted the dirty thing inside his order, it was too late when he finally saw it. He already ate some of the food and ended up suffering from food poisoning. The UP lawyer had to be admitted to BMC’s BYL Nair Hospital for more than 75 hours.
Rajeev shared in his post how Nagpada police did not accept his FIR and he could not file a complaint. Unfortunately, Barbeque Nation did not even respond to the incident or reply to the emails about the man finding a dead mouse in food ordered from the restaurant chain. After sharing the terrible news on social media on January 15, it became viral in no time.
The man from UP asked for help from Netizens. He also mentioned a contact number in the X post for any assistance.
