Traveller Caught A Vendor Selling Fake Mud-Filled Power Banks

Sankott (@Iamsankot) shared the video of the surprising incident of a vendor selling fake portable chargers.

The viral X post shows the vendor displaying a few power banks to a passenger travelling on a train. He claimed that all chargers were from Samsung, OPPO, and Vivo brands and had a warranty period as well. The seller asked ₹500 for a Samsung power bank. Vivo and OPPO ones cost ₹550 each. After bargaining, he agreed to sell each for ₹300.

The passenger was a bit unsure about the portable chargers and decided to open one of them. Though the devices were working, he found mud stuffed inside a power bank. The vendor got startled and tried to stop the traveller from recording his video.
