Sohail was arrested after a video of him spitting on rotis before cooking them in a tandoor went viral (Aaj Tak)

The man, who was caught on camera spitting on rotis while cooking at a wedding in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut, has been booked under the National Security Act (NSA). He was arrested in February after a video of him spitting on the rotis before putting them in a tandoor went viral on social media.

On the direction of the district magistrate, NSA was invoked against Sohail so that he wouldn't secure bail in the case. His family had recently applied for bail in the Courts of Judicial Magistrate (CJM) court.

However, fearing a ruckus and attack on Sohail, the administration did not want to release him. During one of the hearings since his arrest, some people had attacked Sohail. Fearing that it could happen again if he's released on bail, NSA was invoked against him.

The incident which happened in February 2021 came to light when a person secretly filmed the man spitting on the rotis before cooking them in a tandoor at a wedding in Meerut.

As soon as the video landed on social media, netizens, "disgusted" with the visuals, called for action against the man and urged police to probe the matter.

As the matter escalated with Hindu Jagran Manch creating a ruckus outside LLRM Police Station in Meerut, an FIR was registered against Sohail. Sohail was arrested as soon as the video went viral on social media.
