  "account": "During a Saturday night dinner at the JW Marriott Sahar in Mumbai, Dr Ashok Seth, a Fortis cardiologist, experienced an unexpected interruption when a baby cockroach appeared on his table at the hotel's Italian restaurant, Romano's. Seth jokingly referred to the insect as \"Roachie\" and shared a video of the incident on social media. The cockroach appeared to be interested in sharing the meal, but despite efforts by the diners to persuade it to move, it remained on the table. Seth described the experience as ruining the appetites of the group, and they eventually left the restaurant. The incident garnered attention online, with discussions regarding restaurant hygiene and pest-control measures. Seth tagged Tukaram Mundhe, the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration Commissioner, in the post, referencing the state food and drug regulator's jurisdiction. While the reported sighting established the incident, it did not confirm any regulatory violations or broader pest-control problems at the restaurant. The restaurant, Romano's, is an award-winning Italian cuisine restaurant within the JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar, which has been receiving positive reviews for its dining experience.",
