HT.com reached out to the Germany-returned research scientist, identified as Awadhesh, to verify the claims made in the viral video.
Awadhesh confirmed that he had been working in Germany for the past three years as a medical research scientist and has currently taken a break from his job.
He is currently helping his friend set up a small food venture called “Chatkaraa on Wheels”, using his car as a temporary stall to sell bakery products in Gurgaon.
