A video showing a vegetable vendor in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, cleaning coriander leaves in drain water went viral on Tuesday. The officials visited the purported market but were unable to locate the vendor in the video.
In the video, the man who captured the incident repeatedly warns about the dangers of washing vegetables in drain water but the vendor ignored him and continued with the unhygienic act. The incident occurred in Sindhi market. The vegetable vendor, however, continues to conduct his business and refuses to explain why he was doing this unhygenic act.
