New Delhi: A local eatery in Indirapuram police station area of Ghaziabad has come under scrutiny after a customer alleged that a frog leg was found in a samosa purchased from the shop. A video of the incident, which shows a commotion at the establishment, has gone viral on social media. Following the outcry the food safety department has collected samples of the samosas from the shop for examination. The shopkeeper was also taken into custody by the police.
Customer confronts the shopkeeper
The 90-second viral video shows a person holding a broken samosa with what appears to be a dark object inside, which the complainant claims is a frog leg. The video also shows the interior of the shop, with the shopkeeper and several other customers visible. During the incident, a customer arrives and confronts the shopkeeper, alleging that the samosa contains a frog leg. The video captures a heated exchange of words and escalating tensions, with some individuals urging the shopkeeper to call the police.
The incident occurred at a well-known sweet and snack shop in Indirapuram. According to reports, the complainant purchased the samosas and returned to the shop later to lodge his complaint. The video, which was widely circulated on WhatsApp groups, led the food safety department to take action. Officials from the department visited the shop to collect samples of the samosas and other food items for analysis.
Shopkeeper charged with disturbing peace
The police were also dispatched to the scene and, according to their report, the shopkeeper, identified as Ramkesh, was charged with disturbing the peace. Food safety officer Narendra Singh stated that the complainant had left the shop after making the accusation and did not provide a written complaint to the food safety department. The department’s team collected samples from the shop, including items other than the samosas, but did not find the specific samosa with the alleged frog leg.
The shop in question is affiliated with a well-known company and attracts a large number of customers due to its reputation. The food safety department is awaiting the results of their investigation before deciding on further action against the shop.
