".....such a consumer is entitled to be compensated for the mental agony."5,000.00 INR = 113.250 USD
Does this say anything about the value of human life in India?

The most amazing part of this story is that there was apparently multiple times that dead flies have been found in whiskey bottles.
I'm also surprised that there is whiskey in India at all. I had thought that alcohol was against their religion or something like that.

On the other hand, the fly probably died happy.

Perhaps it was just the untouchable caste version of a tequila worm?

This is about how much such a claim is truly worth.

Does this say anything about the value of human life in India? Probably more about the value of a fly, but with Hindus around, who really knows?

Obviously, these folks are unfamiliar with the concept of the "mezcal worm".

$100 may be too small a punishment for the company, although verdicts against big tobacco for $10,000,000,000 are a much bigger problem.

Well, they've got product liability lawyers. That's a start. Now they just need IRS, EPA, FDA, FCC, DOT, HHS/HUD, SSA, OSHA, UAW/NEA/AFLCIO, ACLU, PETA, NOW and affirmative action to get on a level playing field with US.

Not a lot of whiskey drinkers in India (at least not natives). They do have lots of great beer. My favourite is Kingfisher. They have many different kinds:

"It was a case of negligence while manufacturing and bottling the drink as dead insect has found its way during the process of bottling," observed the Commission When contacted, the offended buyer of the tainted drink replied, "I am very much not liking this!"
To: QwertyKPH
I mean, this is India. A fly? A fly?
I would assume a rat free beverage would be more than acceptable.
