In an incident that occurred last Wednesday around 7:15 PM in Beyoğlu, Taksim, a man dining at an ocakbaşı restaurant with his girlfriend encountered an unpleasant surprise. The couple began their dinner once their orders arrived. However, as the young man took a bite, he suddenly felt a burning sensation and pain in his lip. Upon checking his food to understand what had happened, he realized there was an insect in his meal that had bitten him on the lip.
Shocked, the customer immediately took a photo of the insect. He then went to the nearest medical facility to obtain a medical report. The man reported the incident to police teams and filed a complaint against the restaurant owner. The moments the incident took place were also captured on the restaurant's security cameras.
Following the complaint filed by the customer, authorities initiated judicial proceedings against the restaurant owner for the crime of "negligent injury." It was learned that the business owner, whose statement was taken, was released under the instruction of the prosecutor's office.
Teams from the District Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry also examined the restaurant's security camera footage and gathered information about the incident. Additionally, administrative proceedings were initiated to inspect the restaurant for hygiene standards, and it was stated that a detailed hygiene inspection would be carried out.
