Colombian woman orders air fryer from Amazon, receives lizard in package
Bogotá: In a bizarre turn of events, a woman in Colombia was shocked when she opened her Amazon package expecting an air fryer, only to find a lizard inside.
Sofia Serrano, the customer, shared the unusual experience on social media platform X, posting a picture of the lizard clinging to the inside of the box. She wrote, “We ordered an air fryer through Amazon and it arrived with a companion. I don’t know if it was Amazon’s fault or the carrier’s fault… good morning!”
The tweet quickly went viral, garnering over 4 million views. Amazon's customer service team responded to the incident, apologizing to Serrano for the inconvenience. They wrote, "Hello! We're sorry for the inconvenience."
Social media users flocked to the comment section to share their reactions. One user wondered, "Where did that come from???? From Singapore?? There are some like that and it is very common to see them on the street." Another expressed concern for the lizard, writing, "Poor little animal, how many hours has he spent in a box, without food or water. Hopefully @amazon can provide a relevant solution for both those affected and the animal."
This incident is reminiscent of a similar situation that occurred in June when a couple in Bengaluru, India, received an Amazon package containing a snake. The viral video showed a cobra entangled in the packaging tape, struggling to free itself. The wife, identified as Tanvi, recorded the scene and posted it online, stating that she heard a "hiss" sound upon opening the package.

Rape accused's mother murdered by victim's brother in MP's Shivpuri
Shivpuri (PTI): The 60-year-old mother of a rape accused was killed allegedly by the victim's brother in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district, a police official said on Saturday.
The incident took place on Friday, Rannod police station house officer (SHO) Arvind Chauhan said.
"An anganwadi worker returning from a hospital was offered a lift by one Inder Gurjar, who took her to a secluded spot and raped her. She called up her brothers to narrate the ordeal. One brother of the victim along with two associates went to Gurjar's house and assaulted him. When Gurjar's mother Sirkunwarbai (60) intervened, she was attacked with a sharp weapon. She died on the spot," he said.
Based on a complaint filed by the deceased woman's daughter-in-law, three persons were booked for murder. One of them was held on Saturday, the official added.
A separate case has also been registered against Gurjar for rape, he said.
