The video showed white worms crawling on the carton, and the accompanying picture displayed the rotten milk he received. “Almost half of the packets were opened/torn, and the buttermilk was already rotten. An extremely bad smell was coming from the buttermilk,” Yadav added in a subsequent post, urging Amul to take immediate action.
