A case was registered against the manager and chef of a Mumbai restaurant after a customer found a baby rat in a dish he ordered, police said on Wednesday.
According to the police, on Sunday night, Anurag Singh and his friend Amin went to eat at the eatery in Mumbai’s Bandra that serves Punjabi food.
The two friends ordered two dishes – one mutton and one chicken-based curry.
When the food arrived, Mr Singh began eating the chicken curry, saying he noticed nothing out of the ordinary with the dish. However, as Mr Singh ate a small piece of the meat in the curry, he found it not to be chicken. On closer inspection, he realised that it was a baby rat.
When the men complained to the hotel manager, he gave vague answers, they alleged. One of the men posted images showing a baby rat covered in a gravy on X, formerly known as Twitter, asking for action against the restaurant.
