Asked about the probable action that could be initiated against such vendors, the FDA official said, "When the person is caught his license will be checked and if any sample is found, it is seized. Necessary action will be taken." Adhav, however, asserted that the short-video needs to be probed further to decisively conclude about the place of incident and time.

"We have seen the video. We have to check what place the video was shot at. Action as necessary will be taken after the probe", said Adhav.

In the video, a hawker who runs an idli stall on the pavement could be seen fetching water from a toilet to prepare the chutney, which is served as an accompaniment to the idli. The 45-second long video, however, doesn't affirm the time or date of the incident.
