Now, another alarming incident has come to light at a sweet shop in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. A customer who bought samosas from the shop claimed to have found a frog’s leg in one of them. Police have reportedly arrested the shop owner and investigations are underway into the matter.

A video that is all over the internet begins with the frog leg allegedly found in the samosa. As the video continues, the customer shows the shop where he bought the samosa – Bikaner Sweets in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. The video then cuts to a group of people walking up to the reception desk and asking for the owner while showing the contaminated samosa. One of the men in the video can be heard asking another to dial 100 (the police helpline number).

Another person in the video notes that she made a conscious decision to buy samosas from this shop despite having other options available to her.

“Many such cases have come to light before, and action must be taken here,” said a third party.
