A shocking incident from Wave City, Ghaziabad has gone viral after a 24-year-old salon worker was caught on camera spitting on cream before applying it to a customer’s face during a facial.
The video, recorded at Level Up salon in Sector 5, shows the accused Arshad Ali squeezing cream into his palm, spitting on it, and then proceeding to apply it to the unsuspecting customer's face.
