&#8220;Bengaluru cops prevent lynching of Muslim popcorn vendor in Lalbagh&#8221;. The report stated that Nawaz Pasha, a popcorn vendor in Lalbagh for nearly ten years, was accused by passersby of spitting into the oil used to prepare the popcorn. The crowd was on the verge of assaulting him when a police inspector passing through the area intervened, took control of the situation, and prevented the attack.<\/p>\n<p>The report further mentioned that police had apprehended Nawaz and seized his popcorn-making machine based on the allegations levelled by the locals. They, however, refused to come to the police station and file an FIR. The cops eventually filed a suo moto case against him under sections 269 (negligent act likely to spread infection of disease dangerous to life), 270 (malignant act likely to spread infection of disease dangerous to life), 272 (adulteration of food or drink intended for sale) and 273 (sale of noxious food or drink) of the IPC. However, Nawaz said that he did not spit into the oil he only bit the oil packet to tear it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-207710 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-27-152056.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1847\" height=\"1638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-27-152056.jpg 1847w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-27-152056-300x266.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-27-152056-1024x908.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-27-152056-768x681.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-27-152056-1536x1362.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1847px) 100vw, 1847px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenewsminute.com\/karnataka\/why-would-i-spit-food-muslim-popcorn-seller-attacked-bengaluru-speaks-164974\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> by the news Minute stated that Nawaz was later released on bail. When the cops were requested to drop the charges against him, they said, &#8220;It has become a big issue and is in the media, and they have no option but to file a case against him&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>This report quotes Nawaz as saying that he &#8220;tore open an oil packet with his hand and put the torn fragment of the packaging in his mouth while filling the empty oil bottle at his stall and spat it away later.&#8221; This was noticed by another man, a jogger. &#8220;He walked towards him and asked for his name. As soon as he heard, \u201cmy name is Navaz,\u201d he gathered a mob by shouting, \u201clook, this Muslim boy has spat in the oil thrice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Based on the findings, it is clear that the viral video is old, and the claim that the popcorn vendor was arrested for using urine to cook the popcorn is false. The actual allegation against Nawaz Pasha, the popcorn seller, was that he had spat into the oil.
