Watermelon growers send notice of damages to Dr. Affan

Businessmen from Faisalabad have sent a notice of 10 billion rupees to Dr. Affan Qaiser against his statement about injecting watermelons.

A request has also been made by Faisalabad engine traders to register a case against Dr. Affan in Ghulam Muhammad police station.

According to the petition, Dr. Affan’s statement spread fear and panic and caused billions of rupees loss to businessmen and landlords.

The YouTuber doctor was also sent a legal notice for damages of ten billion rupees.

Background:

In one of his latest videos, he raised the issue of “adulterated watermelons” i.e. injecting watermelons with chemicals in order to give them the red colour that consumers accept as a sign of the fruit being sweet.

A couple days later, Dr. Qaiser released another video, justifying his claims with online articles while also pointing that he never put the blame on farmers.
