Shweta Tiwari tags FDA chief after cockroach in Instamart order
The Story in Brief
Actor Shweta Tiwari has tagged Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration commissioner Tukaram Mundhe in a social media post, saying she found a cockroach in a cold drink delivery from quick-commerce platform Instamart. In a video shared on Instagram, Tiwari shows a cockroach crawling around her home and the cold drink she ordered. She says, 'Mundhe ji, cockroaches have now started entering our home. Where are you? Please look into this.'
Mundhe, an IAS officer, has recently gained attention for crackdowns on restaurants and food businesses over hygiene violations. The FDA has been conducting inspections of eateries and quick-commerce warehouses. Tiwari, known for her role in 'Kasautii Zindagii Kay', has not shared if any action was taken on her complaint.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Coverage across NDTV and Times of India is uniform straight reporting. Both outlets lead with the celebrity complaint and Mundhe's ongoing food safety drive, treating the incident as a single news event without independent verification or comment from the FDA or Instamart. Neither outlet interrogates the actor's claim or reports a counterview. The story is framed entirely through Tiwari's Instagram post. What remains unknown is whether the FDA will investigate this specific complaint or if Instamart has responded. The next concrete step to watch is any statement from Mundhe's office or the delivery platform.
