After the incident, Netizens took to Twitter thrashing the outlet.

“This is so disgusting! Lately, i have seen so many foods safety and hygiene issues happening. It feels like the staffs are becoming negligent and somewhere i feel being overburdened is the reason... Still, it is no excuse that food safety and hygiene be taken for granted,” a user wrote.

“Bravo Bhargav and your friends,” said another user.

Joshi later posted the photo of the sealed outlet and thanked the civic body for taking immediate action.
