According to a report by India Today, Gupta found four false dentures in the chocolate from a famous brand. She ate the chocolate days after receiving it from one of the students at the party.

“I got a coffee-flavoured chocolate of a popular brand. After eating the chocolate, I felt something like a crunchy piece of chocolate. But, when I tried to chew it once again, I felt it to be very hard. When I took it out, I was shocked to see it was a set of four false teeth,” India Today quoted Gupta as saying.
