Man in India Arrested for Urinating in 'Spice Water' Served With Street Snack 'Pani Puri' - Video

One of the most popular street food dishes in India is called "pani puri". The quick snack is made by filling small deep-fried wheat-dough pieces with spice-infused water, boiled peas, and chopped onion garnishing. Often served with sweetened Tamrind chutney, the snack is relished by Indians across the country.

Police have arrested a street food vendor in northeast India's Guwahati city for urinating in a bucket of spice-infused water - a key ingredient in the preparation of popular Indian street snack pani puri.

A local filmed the vendor taking a leak in a mug hidden under his apron and then dipping the same mug into the container of spice water. 

The clip recorded and posted by Twitter user Mamun Khan earlier this week has gone viral, leading to the arrest of the pani puri vendor.
