Shopkeeper, helper arrested for serving juice mixed with urine in Ghaziabad
People claimed to have found a can filled with urine from a juice shop, which was handed over to the police.
Urinating in the open has cost a junior engineer of Haridwar municipal corporation dear. The official, Jagdish Prasad, has been fined Rs. 5,000 for the act. This is the first such case in the state.
According to reports, District Magistrate Deepak Rawat was passing by the collectorate when he saw a person urinating in the open. When the DM asked who he was, the person identified himself as MC junior engineer Jagdish Prasad.
The Haridwar DM got annoyed as sufficient number of toilets exist on the collectorate campus.
