UP woman dislocates jaw while trying to eat golgappa. Video

Eating at a street food stall in Uttar Pradesh turned into a shocking medical emergency when a woman dislocated her jaw while eating a golgappa. The incident happened in Auraiya and was captured on video. The now-viral video has sparked alarm among pani-puri and golgappa lovers across the country.

Inkila Devi, a resident of Auraiya, was returning from a local clinic with a family member when they decided to stop at a roadside stall for golgappas. What began as a simple craving quickly escalated into a crisis. As soon as she tried to bite into a particularly large golgappa, her lower jawbone slipped out of its normal position, leaving her mouth stuck open, The Times of India reported.

Family members rushed her back to the clinic, where doctors provided first aid but soon realised the severity of the dislocation. The jaw could not be realigned with basic measures, prompting an urgent referral to a higher medical facility for specialised care.

"The unusual severity made it impossible to close her mouth fully, raising concerns about nerve or tissue damage," a medical source said.
