A bizarre incident at a Bhopal university canteen has triggered outrage after students alleged finding a lizard in their food — only for a staff member to eat it and brush off the claim by calling it capsicum.
The incident, reported from the canteen of Rajiv Gandhi Proudyogiki Vishwavidyalaya (RGPV), dates back to March 18. Students who were eating there said they noticed something unusual in a vegetable dish, which they believed to be a dead lizard. They then informed the canteen staff about it.
According to the students, a staff member picked up the suspected piece, ate it in front of them, and insisted it was nothing more than capsicum, according to a report by India Today. The moment, captured on video, has since spread widely on social media, drawing sharp reactions.
However, the university administration has stepped in and formed a committee to look into the matter and verify what exactly happened. RGPV Director Sudhir Bhadoria assured that student health remains a priority and said strict action would be taken if any negligence is established.
