New Delhi: A picture of a lizard in the meal tray of a flyer purportedly on one of Air India's flights was doing the rounds on social media and also left the Civil Aviation Minister fuming but the airline strongly denied any such incident saying it was 'baseless'.

The incident reportedly took place last Thursday when in the Air India flight from Delhi to London. "This has reference to a report in the media, including on the social media, that a passenger had found a lizard in the meal tray on board AI-111 (Delhi-London) of 11 June, with photograph attached," the airline said.
