Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that a live rat had made its way into the mixture used for the “pani puri”.

The video quickly spread on social media, sparking heated debates. Many users expressed outrage over the lack of hygiene in street food preparation, raising concerns about food safety standards.
Some even questioned the quality of the water used, wondering whether it had been discarded after the rat was removed or if it had been sold to customers.
While many focused on the hygiene issue, others speculated that the video might have been scripted or generated using artificial intelligence, given the bizarre nature of the footage. However, no concrete evidence of such claims has emerged yet.
