A video of a cook mixing her urine in the food being prepared for a family in Ghaziabad has gone viral on social media. The incident, which took place in Crossings Republik society, was caught as her employer placed a mobile phone in the kitchen after having suspicion.
The businessman and his other family members were reportedly suffering from liver issues for several days. Despite seeking medical treatment, their condition did not improve. It is when the businessman suspected that something was wrong with their food.
A case has been registered against the house help under the relevant section and she has been arrested, police said, adding that further legal proceedings are underway.
Assistant Commissioner of Police, Wave City, Lipi Nagayach, confirmed the case and stated that the accused had denied mixing urine into the food during questioning. However, she said, the investigation is ongoing. The woman had been working for the family for the past eight years. The businessman said there was a theft in his house a few years ago but he never suspected the house help.
Man Mixed Semen In Faluda
In a similar incident that came to light in April, a man operating a roadside kulfi and ice cream stall was caught masturbating and adding his semen to 'faluda' in Telangana's Warangal district. As a video of the incident surfaced on social media, food safety authorities and law enforcement raided the ice cream facility.
