'Not true': Indian restaurant owner in Frisco confronted over allegations of only hiring students on F-1 visa

An Indian restaurant in Frisco, Texas, has been repeatedly targeted by a group of people who call themselves the Texas Investigation Unit. The group claims that Bollywood Pizza House in Frisco only hires Indian students on F-1 visa which is mostly illegal. In support of their allegation, they impersonated anIndian caller named Ravi and called the restaurant seeking a job. The conversation made it clear that the restaurant hires F-1 visa students and pays them in cash or Zelle.

Following up on that phone call, a video has now been released showing the same team visiting the pizza house and requesting to meet the owner, asking him to comment on the allegation. "Not true," the man whom the video identified as owner Omprakhash Thota said. The man also denied any knowledge about the previously viral phone call. He was also accused of moonlighting and having a job at Bank of America, which he denied.
