In a disturbing incident that has captured widespread attention on social media, Mohammad Yunus, a salon owner from Uttar Pradesh’s Kannauj, was arrested following a video showing him spitting on customers during massages. The video, which quickly went viral, revealed Yunus repeatedly spitting on his palm and then using it to massage a customer’s face. The footage also included reactions from both Yunus and the customer.

The offensive nature of the act sparked outrage among viewers, leading to a swift response from local authorities. Additionally, the administration has taken immediate action by demolishing Yunus’ stall with a bulldozer. Charges related to the offensive nature of his actions were filed against him.

Mohammad Yunus operated a roadside stall in Talgram Nagar Panchayat, Chhibramau, where he provided various services including haircuts and massages. The video prompted significant backlash, particularly from Hindu organisations, with former BJP MP Subrat Pathak denouncing the act as “spit jihad” and calling for immediate police intervention.
