Scam?

Back in Mumbai again after 2019.

Yesterday near Gateway to India man appeared suddenly with a long tweezers dangling a small reddish worm near my husband’s ear. Very close saying he was picking it out of his ear! I was at his side and we waved him off. It was very unsettling, he said he would clean his ear!

Thank God he didn’t attack him with the sharp 4 inch tweezer.

Anyone else aware of this?
