  "account": "Dr Ashok Seth, a prominent cardiologist and Fortis Healthcare chairman, experienced an unexpected interruption during a dinner at JW Marriott Mumbai's Romano restaurant on Saturday evening. As he dined with colleagues, a baby cockroach, which he dubbed \"Roachie,\" scurried across his table, drawing their attention. Despite attempts by the staff to remove the insect, it remained on the table, causing the diners to leave without finishing their meal. Dr Seth expressed his disappointment, stating that the presence of the cockroach had taken away their appetite. Marriott Bonvoy Assist acknowledged receiving Dr Seth's complaint and stated that they would investigate the matter further. Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe was also tagged in Dr Seth's post, suggesting that the incident might be addressed under the state's ongoing food-safety enforcement drive.",
