Overview

• The incident occurred on September 8 on SpiceJet flight SG-1080 from Goa to Pune, when passenger Abhijit Bhosle reported throat irritation and stomach pain after sipping a sealed soft drink.
• Co-passengers say they found several metal pieces in the emptied can and filed a written complaint after cabin crew kept the item.
• SpiceJet states the beverage was served sealed, medical imaging at Ruby Hall Clinic showed no foreign object, and an advised endoscopy was declined.
• The airline says it covered the passenger’s medical costs, retained the can for a vendor review under its SOP, and allowed evidence to be documented before securing it.
• Social media posts amplified the case with some uncorroborated claims of bleeding, and the passenger is recovering at home as the vendor’s findings are awaited.
