According to Kumar, the defendants have been charged with negligent act likely to transmit a sickness or infection and malicious act done to spread the illness under the Epidemic Act.

Sushil Rajput had shared the footage on social media, according to police officials. The footage was taken from a distance, so it's unclear if the cook is spitting or not. To determine the charge, the police will seek technological aid.

In February of last year, a man named Naushad was apprehended in Meerut after a video of him spitting on bread dough went viral.
