On Monday, Azmi had tweeted a video tagging Railway Minister Piyush Goyal, where three people were seen squatting and rinsing plates in a puddle of water in a pothole."@PiyushGoyal Indian Railways pls watch," she captioned the video.

However, the Ministry of Railways on Tuesday clarified that the video was of a Malaysian eatery, and not of Indian railways` staff.

"Mam, the video is of Malaysian eatery which faces closure after video shows workers washing dishes in a puddle of murky water," the ministry clarified on Twitter.
