In a shocking video a street vendor selling snacks outside Patna Junction was allegedly harassed by a man in an incident that has triggered criticism on social media.
A viral video shows a street vendor near Patna Junction allegedly being harassed when a man spat food and overturned his snack tray, sparking public outrage and leading Patna/Bihar Police to forward the complaint for verification and action.
A video of the incident shows the man taking food from the vendor’s tray, appearing to spit it back and then overturning the entire tray, sending the vendor’s snacks onto the road.
The video has since circulated widely online, with several users urging the authorities to identify the person involved and take action. At the same time, some users have questioned whether the incident was staged, although there is no confirmed information establishing that claim.

Having eaten the snacks, he seems to have spat the snacks at the vendor. After that, he overturns the tray of the vendor and drops all his snacks on the ground.
The vendor seems to be shocked and does not react.
This led to the vendor losing all the snacks that he had for sale that day. For a street vendor, this could affect his income for the day.
Video Sparks Outrage On Social Media
Since the release of the video on the internet, there have been many comments regarding the actions of the accused and demands for the case to be investigated by the relevant authorities.
One of the individuals who uploaded the video requested the intervention of the police against the man, who allegedly took advantage of his position or power against an economically weak vendor.
The individual named the victim as a vendor of chickpeas and puffed rice near Patna Junction and addressed Patna Police and Bihar Police with the plea to track down the person in the video and provide compensation to the vendor for his losses.
However, some people on social media platforms questioned the credibility of the video and asked if it was possible that the incident was staged.
Bihar Police Responds To Viral Video
The viral video also caught the attention of the police.
Bihar Police responded to a social media post carrying the footage and asked for it to be forwarded for information and necessary action.
Patna Police later said that the complaint had been forwarded to the concerned officer.
The police response indicates that the matter has been brought to the attention of the authorities. Further action would depend on verification of the incident and identification of the person seen in the video.
While the video has prompted strong reactions online, the exact circumstances surrounding the incident will have to be established through police verification.
