The owner alleged that this act has been done by that customer. He said, "We are apologising and the reason is not that we have made a mistake. We want to end the issue considering the situation." Honey said, "The CCTV cameras are not working due to construction in our dhaba, so we do not have any proof of this, but we can surely say that we are being defamed."
However, the customer, who made the video viral on social media, has not filed any complaint yet, however, the owner of the dhaba said that he will lodge a complaint against him because the customer wants to defame their dhaba's name.
