A disturbing video circulating on social media has triggered public outrage, allegedly showing a milk vendor in Dudhiya spitting into his milk container before selling it. In response to the uproar, local police swiftly registered a case and launched an investigation. The vendor, who has been identified, claims he was only checking the milk level in the container.
