'If his wife needs help...': Major row over Indian H-1B techie 'working' in food truck in Texas

Indian techie Naveen Tummala is at the center of a major row after Texas journalist Sara Gonzales visited his Golconda Xpress food truck in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and confronted him, saying he can't run a food truck while he is on an H-1B, sponsored by Flexera Global. Tummala fought back and asserted that he was neither the owner of the truck nor working there -- the food business was owned by his wife, and he was just helping his wife after his office time. The wife was not present at the food truck and Gonzales claimed that on some permit papers, Tummala claimed himself as the owner.

After the video went viral and Tummala pushed Gonzales back saying he was well aware of his H-1B rules and Gonzales could do whatever he wanted to, a major row erupted on social media with the Indian-American community slamming Gonzales and defending Tummala.
