The love for panipuri is quite evident among Indians. It is one of India’s most loved street food, and people often ignore the hygiene factor while thinking about it. However, an offensive video of a panipuri vendor mixing urine in the jaljeera water has left everyone in disgust. A 20second-video of the same has been uploaded on the microblogging site, where the panipuri vendor can be seen urinating in a mug behind his stall and adding that to the panipuri water. The scene is reportedly captured in the Athgaon area of Assam’s Guwahati. The caption of the video reads, “Shocking! A street vendor (panipuri seller) has been arrested in Guwahati after a viral,sensational video in which he mixed his urine with water and used it for customers.”

This has been caught..I fear few other pani puri vendors across India would be doing the same. What about the rest . They would certainly be blamed and would suffer miserably.— gaurav mohanty (@gauravmohanty_) August 22, 2021
Another user wrote, “Similar incident was reported in Thane near Mumbai some time ago. This is the most heinous crime. But shockingly, people are still crazy for street food. Shame on them.”
