Karnal: A video of Gharaunda restaurant in Karnal, Haryana, is going viral on social media. In this 14-second video, it is seen that the ingredients of spring rolls are on the plate, and there is a white worm in the middle. After this, the camera is rotated in the shop.
Apart from this, it is written in Hindi and English in the video that “Mithan (live moving insects found) Mithai Gharaunda Railway Road Near Shiv Chowk.
Order Spring Roll, dated 3 August 2024 This video has now gone viral on social media.
When the shopkeeper Mangeram Mitthan was contacted to know the truth about the viral video, he admitted that this video was of his shop. We keep complete cleanliness at our shop, but we cannot say anything about where this insect came from. Mangeram Mitthan told us that on August 3, the youth came to the shop with some of his friends and ordered spring rolls.
As soon as he was eating, a crawling insect came in front of him. We also apologized for our mistake and assured them that this would never happen in the future, but the youth made the video viral the next day. However, despite apologizing, the youth made the video viral on social media, due to which the matter got heated even more.
Food Safety Officer Dr Amit Chauhan says that insects were found in the plate of spring rolls. The presence of live insects in fried food is a big question in itself. Only after a complete investigation can something further be said.
