For the first time, a cockroach, which was found by an Air India passenger in the Delhi-Dubai flight, was “hanged until death".

According to a report by Gulf News, an Air India maintenance log entry revealed by a journalist stated that the incident took place on Air India flight AI 315 on October 24 when a traveler discovered a live cockroach in the cabin during the journey.

Aircraft maintenance logs are documents in which crew members record any irregularities or defects observed during flights. Mostly, these entries detail technical malfunctions or equipment issued and reports about pests are not entirely uncommon.

However, the way the matter was handled in the recent situation became viral on social media.

The log entry, shared by journalist Jagriti Chandra on X, called the rectification note as dealing with the matter “conclusively" and added a humorous touch by referencing it as “Khalaas, Dubai style". The photograph of the logbook has grained traction as users lauded the engineer’s wit.

“This is the best thing in a long time. ‘Evidence removed’," one user said.

One of the users said: “Perhaps the right SOP would have been…,"Catering Informed". A user, meanwhile, joked that the body was “handed over to catering as family not traceble".

“I hope he had proper representation by a good lawyer in the court case. I think the judge was too strict," a user joked.

“Was the body disposed off in dry waste or wet-biodegradable waste?" questioned another user.
