A video of a man urinating in front of Mumtaz Indian Restaurant in Plano, Texas, with another man has gone viral, with many social media users claiming he is an Indian and that the man worked at the Indian restaurant, bringing shame to the Indian community. The video sparked a major controversy at a time when anti-India sentiment was at its peak in Texas, with some social media users claiming that many Pakistanis use “Indian” in the names of their businesses and that it was impossible to tell from the video alone whether the man was Indian or Pakistani. However, the act of urinating in public is condemned. Ryan Dawson, who caught the man peeing and posted it on his Instagram, said he peed in the open because he couldn’t control it. Dawson asked him why he wasn’t using the bathroom in the restaurant. “The door is locked,” the man said.
Dawson, whose Instagram handle is @2groovystudios, said his studio is just above where the incident took place. Advertisement “Ok but what if he can’t hold it due to health reasons? And there are people in their only bathroom? He’s older and he simply can’t hold it,” one person wrote, trying to find out if there was any justification for the man’s actions. “He was one of the managers of the facility. They had bathrooms inside. Being old or incontinent is really no excuse for exposing yourself in a public place because you know there are people around you. There is no health reason that justifies urinating in public. ” Dawson wrote, adding that Plano police gave the man a verbal warning.
