According to the Independent, a mother and daughter couple bought two pieces of parotta (a type of South Indian flatbread) and when their daughter finished eating, she discovered snake skin on the wrapper. The mother, Priya, reported the incident to police, who then directed her to Food Safety Officials. Food safety officer Arshitha Basheer reported that the hotel was operating in “bad” condition and that “The store was closed immediately and a cause notice was issued,” she added.
After investigation, officials said the snake skin in the newspaper was used for food packaging, not in food. The hotel’s license was revoked with Ms Basheer announcing that the restaurant had conducted business with the requested license and there was “nothing wrong” with the dish.
However, the incident left its mark on people, and here’s what they commented on Twitter:
