Even more alarming, Kumar himself had consumed one of the contaminated samosas before his daughter brought the matter to his attention. A video, circulated on X (formerly Twitter), captured the moment when Kumar was seen rinsing his mouth with water, while another person showcased the samosa containing the deceased lizard.

Infuriated, Kumar and others confronted the sweet shop owner, engaging in a heated argument before the intervention of local police and food department authorities. The officials assured Kumar that necessary actions would be taken against the shop owner.

According to reports, the sweet shop owner defended the quality of their samosas, claiming that the stuffing, including potatoes, was done with bare hands. The owner expressed skepticism about the possibility of a dead creature being present in the deep-fried snack.

In response to the incident, the affected family filed a formal complaint against the sweet shop owner. Local police promptly registered a case, and ongoing investigations are underway to uncover more details surrounding this shocking discovery.
