A video of a customer losing his cool at a bakery manager in Karachi, Pakistan, is being shared with a false caption that claims the incident took place at Pista House bakery in Hyderabad, India.

Pista House is a bakery based in Hyderabad, Telangana which has branches in United States as well. Its Haleem, a type of stew, has made it a household name in Hyderabad.

The caption with the viral clip reads 'it is Mehdipatnam pista house'. It may be mentioned here that Mehidipatnam is a famous locality in Hyderabad, Telangana.

The video shows an enraged man accusing the manager of the bakery of selling him stale food.

The annoyed customer can be heard telling the manager that the food was stale and after consuming it, his son had been suffering from an upset stomach.
