Elaborating on the incident, Deepa Devi told IANS, “This morning, my children wanted to drink mango shake so I ordered Vanilla ice cream through the Blinkit app. When I opened it, I saw a black centipede on the lid. I informed Blinkit about this. They returned my money (₹ 195) and I was assured that they had conveyed the same to Amul and that I would get a call or message from Amul,” adding, “No matter how big a brand, such negligence cannot be ignored.”
