Mumbai Restaurant Licence Suspended After Rat Found in Mysore Masala DosaPreviousNext

A customer at Radhakrishna Hotel in Mumbai's Borivali West allegedly found a dead rat inside a Mysore masala dosa, prompting him to vomit and file a police complaint. The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA), led by Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe, suspended the restaurant's licence following an inspection that revealed multiple hygiene violations. This incident is part of a broader FDA crackdown on food safety and hygiene standards across Maharashtra ahead of the festive season, with ongoing investigations into the complaint.
