A video has emerged online showing a rat happily munching on sweets inside Delhi's popular Aggarwal Sweets shop, located in the Bhajanpura area near Khajoori Chowk. The clip which has sparked outrage among netizens captures the rat feasting on sweets displayed for sale, even as numerous customers make purchases. Meanwhile, a staff member nearby appears unfazed and continues selling the sweets, seemingly unaware of the rodent's antics. As the camera pans left, other customers are seen busy shopping, oblivious to the rat’s feast just a short distance away.
The clip is being widely circulated online, provoking a wave of negative reactions from social media users.

"It must be a pet rat," remarked one user on X (formerly Twitter) in apparent sarcasm.
"What else do you expect to find in a sweets shop, elephants?" quipped another.
A third user questioned whether 'law and order' was absent in Delhi.
Frog Leg In Samosa
The video surfaced months after a man who had purchased samosas from a sweet shop in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad claimed to have found a frog leg inside one of the snacks. In the viral video, the customer, visibly disturbed, filmed the discovery, showing the frog leg and the shop, Bikaner Sweets, where the samosas had been purchased.
