Doctors at Fortis Hospital in New Delhi were shocked to find a live 3-centimeter cockroach in the small intestine of a 23-year-old patient who had been experiencing stomach pain and indigestion.

The man, who had eaten street food days earlier, sought medical help after suffering from bloating and digestive issues.

During an Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, doctors unexpectedly discovered the cockroach, which was then removed using an endoscope.
