The owner of a dhaba in Sector 12 and a cook employed by him were arrested on Wednesday, after a video in which the cook could be seen spitting on rotis (bread) before putting them in a tandoor, the police said.
The incident was recorded on Tuesday and a case filed after a local news reporter lodged a complaint, the police said.
Satyander Singh, station house officer of Sector 14 police station, said that they received the complaint along with a video in which the cook could be seen spitting on the rotis, with the owner standing right next to him. “Both have been arrested from Al Sofa hotel in Sector 12 and they did not give any clarification why they were doing this. They were produced before the district court and sent to 14-day judicial custody,” he said.
The cook has been identified as Usman Malik, of Meerut in Uttar Pradesh, and the owner as Mohammad Ibrahim, of Delhi.
The local news reported, who filed a complaint, said, “I showed him the video which was shared on social media but he denied the allegation and said he was close to the rotis but never spat on them. When I asked the owner, he feigned ignorance.”
