On April 25, Deepu NK, a 32-year-old cab driver from Agrahara Dasarahalli in Bengaluru, ordered a paneer tikka roll at a bakery when his preferred chicken roll was unavailable. After consuming half of the roll, he discovered a lizard inside, leading to a confrontation with the bakery staff, who were dismissive of his claims. Following the incident, Deepu was taken to a private multispecialty hospital due to severe diarrhea and vomiting. The bakery staff allegedly refused to cover his medical expenses, prompting Deepu to remain at the hospital. Police have since filed a case against the bakery under provisions for negligent conduct regarding poisonous substances. However, the investigation faces challenges as Deepu could not provide photographic evidence of the lizard due to his distress at the time. This incident serves as a cautionary tale about food safety, emphasizing the need to document any foreign materials found in food immediately.
