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.

Madhya Pradesh: BJP leader assaults blind woman in Church

According to The Indian Express reports, Bhargava entered the church, with members of several Hindutva affiliated organisations, alleging that the visually impaired children were being forced into religious conversion; But, the students present at the church have flatly denied all the allegations.
An unnamed police officer cited in media reports states that there was no evidence to support claims of forced religious conversion. The incident has since intensified political debate in the state, with opposition parties demanding accountability and action against those involved.
