Delhi stadium leftover drink refilling:A video that has gone viral, reportedly from Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium, shows vendors refilling leftover soft drinks into bottles during a T20 World Cup match on 10 February. The 40-second clip has raised serious health concerns, with social media users fearing that reusing leftover drinks could cause infections and contaminations. Although it is not confirmed whether the drinks were sold again, people online are calling for a proper investigation.
The video appears to show vendors collecting partially-drunk drinks from discarded cups and pouring them into plastic bottles. Experts and viewers warned that this could lead to health risks, especially in crowded venues. Multiple clips circulated on social media around 11–12 February, increasing public scrutiny. Some users, however, questioned the claims and asked for evidence that the drinks were intended for resale.

While many viewers criticised the alleged unhygienic practice, no official confirmation has yet shown that the refilled drinks were sold to the public. So far, neither the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) nor Coca-Cola India has issued a detailed public statement.
"Not only this is unprincipled, it amounts to cheating the customers. This isn’t jugaad from any angle. It’s straight-up fraud. One surprise infection and everyone will act shocked. Imagine paying Rs 200 for a cold drink and getting a community edition of the drink. Not chilled. But shared. This is the problem. In India, rules are treated like decoration until someone gets sick. We as people are very enterprising and I am sure smart solutions can be found. If your business model requires cheating does your business need to be legal?" reacted a netizens to the viral Delhi video.
This comes a few weeks after a five-star hotel in Delhi reportedly served poison-laced food to a woman. Following the complainant, a crime team from Delhi Police visited the hotel room where the woman was staying. They seized 16 samples of suspected food items and liquids, which have been sent for laboratory testing.
According to the police, “Based on the current circumstances, it appears that the victim’s illness was caused by consuming food from the hotel, which may have contained a poisonous substance.”
An FIR was registered under Section 286 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which deals with negligent or reckless handling of poisonous substances that could endanger human life or cause injury.
