UP man arrested after video of him spitting on rotis goes viral on social media

In the video the man appears to be using his saliva to make sure the rotis stay intact in the tandoor

Remember the scene from '3 Idiots' where Raju Rastogi's mother scratches his father's chest and then goes on to make rotis with hairs sticking on to the belan? The disgust in the face of Rancho and Farhan was a feeling shared by all of us while watching it.

Well, it is time to relive those feelings back and try not to develop a sense of apathy towards our favourite tandoori roti while watching this viral video.

Meerut Police has arrested a man after the video of him spitting on rotis (bread) before baking them in a tandoor went viral on social media.

Police said that Naushad has been booked under the Epidemic Diseases Act.

In the video, which has disgusted a lot of social media users, the man seems to be using his saliva to make sure the rotis stay intact in the tandoor. The video appears to be from a wedding ceremony.

Police took stock of the situation after the video surfaced online and arrested the man. “The station in-charge of Partapur has been conveyed to launch necessary action or investigation in connection with the case,” the police said.

The accused is also a resident of Meerut and has been identified as one Naushad aka Sohail.

Sources said that one of the employees of the catering company made the video and uploaded it on social media.

Enraged over the incident, workers of a saffron outfit contacted the catering company and asked it to produce the youth before them. They thrashed the youth and later handed him over to the cops.

Police said that Naushad had admitted to doing the act but did not reveal what led him to do it.

The incident threatened to take a communal turn as the youth hailed from the Muslim community after the saffron activists alleged that there was a conspiracy behind it.
