Two Kerala tipplers found a dead cockroach in a sealed liquor bottle bought from a Bevco outlet in Palakkad on Wednesday.
In what has been an unpleasant shopping experience to say the least, two Shoranur natives picked up a bottle of daily dose from a liquor outlet in Ottappalam. However, on close inspection they noticed a dead cockroach inside the bottle, much to their shock... obviously.
Our duo then rang up a phone number found on the bottle’s wrap, following which a representative of the liquor brand visited them in person, according to a Mathrubhumi report.
The company representative reportedly apologised for the incident, which was caused due to a "human error" during the manufacturing/bottling process. He also offered the two up to Rs 5,000 as compensation to hush up the matter.
However, being the good Samaritans and law-abiding citizens our tipplers are, they did not accept the amount and are now preparing to move the consumer court instead.
