In the video, the food including rice, dal, and curry can be seen being served to the players from the vessels placed on the toilet floor near the gates of the Bhimrao Ambedkar Stadium in Saharanpur.
The players also claimed that they were served half-cooked food that was kept on the toilet floor because of a shortage of space. There were claims that the cook kept the food on the toilet floor after players complained about the half-cooked food.
