DISGUSTING! Condoms, Gutka, Stones Found In Samosas Supplied To Auto Firm Canteen In Pune; 5 Held

Investigations have unveiled that a businessman orchestrated this appalling act in a bid to take revenge after his agreement with the company was terminated.

Imagine the shock of biting into your favourite samosa only to discover stones, gutka, and even a condom! This disturbing incident took place at a prominent automobile firm in Pimpri Chinchwad, Pune, sparking disgust among all. Investigations have unveiled that a businessman orchestrated this appalling act in a bid to take revenge after his agreement with the company was terminated. Meanwhile, the police have booked five persons. Those booked comprise two workers of a subcontracting firm that was asked to supply the samosas as well as three partners of another such firm that had been removed earlier for adulteration, according to police.

The three partners had allegedly planted these two workers to ensure the firm that had got the samosa contract now would get defamed,” police said.

“Catalyst Service Solutions Pvt Ltd is responsible for providing food items to the canteen of the automobile firm. The firm had given a contract to provide samosas to another subcontracting firm named Manohar Enterprises. On Saturday, some of the automobile firm employees found condoms, gutka and stones in the samosas,” he said.

After Manohar Enterprises’ staffers were questioned over the incident, it was found that two workers, identified as Firoz Shaikh and Vicky Shaikh, had allegedly stuffed condoms, gutka and stones in the samosas, the Chikhli police station official said. The two accused told the police that they are employees of SRA Enterprises and were sent by its partners to Manohar Enterprises to adulterate food supplied by the latter,” he said.

SRA Enterprises was removed from the contract earlier after a bandage was found in a snack they had supplied and the partners, identified as Rahim Shaikh, Azhar Shaikh, and Majhar Shaikh, wanted to smear the market reputation of Manohar Enterprises.

A case under IPC section 328 (causing hurt by means of poison) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) have been registered.

This incident recalls a similar alarming event earlier this year when approximately 20 teachers from Dronacharya Degree College in Dankaur, Uttar Pradesh, were hospitalised after consuming samosas from a local sweet shop during New Year’s Eve celebrations. Subsequent investigations revealed that the samosas, besides being stale, contained poisonous worms.
