There have been multiple incidents in recent times where cooks have been spotted spitting into the food. The Ghaziabad police had arrested one Mohammad Mohsin after a video of him making rotis while spitting on them at an engagement ceremony went viral.
Similarly, there was one incident involving one Mohammad Khalik in Delhi. Cases have also been reported at Meerut in Uttar Pradesh and elsewhere in the state.
Naushad’s spitting video was one of the first that came to the fore. There is some suspicion that there is a nexus of miscreants indulging in such activities. The Police had initiated an investigation into the same.
Numerous videos have come forward since then which suggests that the practice could be far more prevalent than previously suspected.
