The Story in Brief
A Bengaluru woman has claimed that Swiggy Instamart sent her a Datura fruit as a freebie without a warning label. In an Instagram reel, she said every part of the fruit is poisonous and could cause coma or death if consumed. She added that Datura is used in pooja offerings, not as food. The video was posted by the Instagram handle K Syeda Moosavi and received more than 3,000 views in three days.
Times Now reports that the post drew calls for action, with some users saying people could mistake the fruit for an edible one. However, the publication said it could not independently confirm the details or authenticate the post. There is no reported response from Swiggy in the source.
The Indian Opinion
The viral reactions move too quickly from an unverified reel to claims of a confirmed health hazard. That does not excuse poor labelling if the delivery did contain Datura, but the first task is to establish what was sent, by whom and whether anyone consumed it. Swiggy should publish its findings and review freebie controls. The key test is a verified order record and a clear answer on whether the fruit was Datura.
