He claims that not only is the food served poor in quality, but at times, soldiers have to sleep on an "empty stomach" because higher-ranked officers "sell off" government provisions "illegally".
Yadav has called for a scrutiny of the matter and has requested people to spread his word.
Following his claims, which are fairly serious in nature, India's Home Minister has called for "appropriate action".

Charges are now being hurled at the BSF, which has tweeted out a clarification and called Yadav's claims "individual aberrations".

A senior BSF official has even told the Press Trust of Indiathat Yadav is an "alcoholic" and has been pulled up often for violation of discipline. “However, the force has already ordered for a full investigation into the allegations made," the official has confirmed.
The soldier later told an Indian television station that he has no regrets about the video.
