A viral video showing a snail in prasadam from the Varaha Nrusimha Swamy temple in Visakhapatnam has led to an investigation by local police. Temple authorities assert it was a deliberate attempt to defame them, citing the clean preparation area and the snail's intact shell as evidence against its presence in the cooked rice. They have initiated an inquiry. The incident has also sparked political commentary, with one party criticizing the government's temple management.
