(My potatoes are missing.. around 250 grams.. I had peeled and kept them at 4 o'clock.. thought I’d come back after eating and drinking and then cook them.. someone has stolen them.. this needs to be investigated)
The internet users reacted to the video and one of the users said, "He spoke the absolute truth, potatoes were stolen, he did not beat anyone, he works hard so he drinks with his own money, at least he spoke the truth, he did not act as anyone's broker or harass anyone." Another user demanded a CID and CBI inquiry in connection with the matter. He said, "CID/CBI should be deployed immediately so that potatoes can be found quickly."
