Humans have a lot to be thankful for to the internet as incidents that couldn’t be informed earlier or had to be delivered from door-to-door now reaches the world in a second. The internet this time around helped uncover the disgusting act of a street food seller, which if not brought to the limelight, could have caused food poisoning and serious health issues his customers. Street food is considered unhealthy for a reason by health-conscious people, but more so if it is prepared in an absurd and nauseating manner.
The very well-known paani puri, or otherwise called puchka, golgappa or gacchup, is the most eaten and loved street food. This changed for a lot of people in the recent days after a paani-puri seller was caught mixing his urine with the water used to make the ‘khatta paani’.
The incident has shocked the internet and it quickly got viral after the video of the dirty act was captured on camera and shared on Twitter.
It happened in mid-August in Guwahati, Assam and was shared online by a user named Mamun Khan. The video clearly shows the vendor urinating in a mug and then splashing its contents into the vessel containing the khatta paani, which was on his cart.
The Athgaon area seller was arrested by the local police following the video’s popularity, the user who shared the clip said. “Shocking! A street vendor(pani puri seller) has been arrested in Guwahati after viral a sensational video in which he mixed his urine with water and using the same Water in Pani Puri,” he tweeted.
