The Delhi &amp; District Cricket Association (DDCA) on Thursday (Feb 12) released an official statement after a viral video from the stadium made rounds. In a video making the rounds on the internet, a vendor was seen filling a soft drink bottle with leftovers from glasses. It was alleged that the soft drink filled in the bottle was later used for selling purposes, raising question marks on the food, safety and hygiene at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
