Ghaziabad, New Delhi: A video has gone viral on social media where a woman, reportedly a maid working at a Ghaziabad family house, was caught mixing her urine in the dough while making rotis on the CCTV. The gross incident has sparked massive outrage among the netizens, demanding strict action against her.

According to the reports, the house help, identified as Reena (32) from Shanti Nagar Colony has been arrested and is currently under police vigilance. “The entire incident was caught on camera which clearly shows the house help is committing the alleged act,” police said in its statement.

The incident came to light when Rupam, house owner Nitin Gautam’s wife, noticed her family members experiencing liver problems. Suspecting foul play, she began monitoring the help’s activities in the kitchen. Gautam secretly recorded a video using his mobile phone, which captured the help allegedly mixing urine in the flour.

Rupam, house owner Nitin Gautam’s wife, first noticed something odd when her family began facing a spate of liver problems. Alarmed by these health concerns, she decided to keep a closer watch on the domestic help’s activities, particularly in the kitchen. Using nothing more than his smartphone, Gautam secretly captured a shocking video. It seemed the household help was contaminating their food by adding urine to the flour.

“During interrogation, the help initially denied the allegations. However, upon being confronted with the video, she confessed to her actions. The help claimed she was motivated by revenge after being frequently scolded by her employer for minor mistakes,” said ACP Wave City Lipi Nagaich.

A case has been registered under relevant sections of Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) against Reena. The police have also launched a probe to check whether the accused had a criminal history.

Potential Health Hazards of Consuming Urine-Contaminated Food

Even though it sounds really gross and disgusting, it’s important to understand what happens when one consumes food that is contaminated with urine and other body fluids (waste products).

Foodborne Illnesses

Bacteria present in the urine can cause food poisoning, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

The bacteria in urine can directly cause UTIs, leading to pain, burning, and discomfort during urination.

Kidney Infections

In severe cases, urine-contaminated food can lead to kidney infections, which can be life-threatening.

Psychological Distress

The thought of consuming food contaminated with urine can cause significant psychological distress and anxiety.

Laws Against Such Actions

This is not the first time when such an incident has surfaced in the city of Ghaziabad. Previously, some similar incidents of human waste, including urine and spit, being added to food items have been reported from several places in the state. As per records, last month, a man was thrashed and later arrested by the Ghaziabad Police for allegedly serving juices mixed with urine to customers. The accused, Aamir Khan, owner of Khushi Juice Corner, was arrested while his minor assistant was detained by the police.

Taking cognizance of the situation, the Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday announced that they will implement a set of new laws against sellers who “hide their identity” and mix human waste or inedible material in food items and beverages. “The new ordinance will penalise spitting on food with imprisonment of up to 10 years. There will also be provisions for cancellation of licences and penalties for mixing urine or waste,” officials were quoted as saying.
