Shocking discovery at sweet shop
According to a report by India Today, Aman Kumar, a resident of Nyay Khand in Ghaziabad, purchased four samosas from the sweet shop. But his snack took an unexpected turn when he broke open one of the samosas and discovered what appeared to be a frog leg inside. Horrified, Aman immediately recorded a video to capture the shocking find and then went back to the sweet shop with a group to lodge a complaint against the shop owner, Ramkesh.
Authorities step in to investigate
As tensions rose between Aman and the shop’s management, local police arrived at the scene to handle the dispute. The incident was then reported to the Food Safety and Drug Administration Department, who collected samples of the samosas for testing. Arvind Yadav, Assistant Commissioner of Food (Grade II), confirmed that the samples had been sent for analysis and that further action would depend on the test results. The disturbing video of the samosa has since gone viral on social media, with journalist Sachin Gupta sharing the clip on X (formerly Twitter), drawing widespread attention.
