"जंग लाज़िम था लेकर हाय मेरी": Five arrested in Pune after samosas for a major automobile company in Pimpari Chinchwad were stuffed with condoms, gutka, stones, accused include Rahim, Azhar, Mazhar, Firoz, and Vicky Shaikh of SRA and Manohar Enterprise

Pune (Maharashtra): In a shocking incident at a company located in Pune’s Pimpri-Chinchwad area, five individuals were arrested after an appalling discovery in the canteen food. The police have confirmed that among those detained are two workers from a subcontracting firm responsible for supplying samosas to the company’s canteen.
|
These workers allegedly engaged in a disturbing act of tampering with the food, as investigations revealed that they had inserted objects such as condoms, gutka (a form of chewing tobacco), and stones into the samosas. This alarming situation came to light on March 27 when the company's employees found these foreign materials in their food, prompting an immediate investigation.
The incident has raised serious concerns about food safety and hygiene, particularly in corporate canteens where large numbers of employees rely on the food served for their daily meals. The authorities acted swiftly to address the situation, leading to the arrest of the involved parties and a thorough examination of the canteen’s food supply chain to prevent such occurrences in the future.
This disturbing incident unfolded in Pune's Pimpari Chinchwad area where five individuals were implicated in a case involving the contamination of samosas with condoms, gutkas (chewing tobacco), and stones. These samosas were supplied to a prominent automobile company, leading to a police investigation.
The individuals involved in this unsettling act have been identified by the police as Rahim Shaikh, Azhar Shaikh, Mazhar Shaikh, Firoz Shaikh, and Vicky Shaikh. The incident has attracted significant attention and raised questions about the motives behind such a reprehensible act.
Further details emerged from a report by ANI, which highlighted that the contamination was an act of vengeance by a businessman whose contract with the automobile company had previously been terminated. The police investigation revealed that the three partners had meticulously orchestrated this scheme, aiming to tarnish the reputation of the firm holding the contract for supplying samosas. They strategically placed the two workers within the subcontracting firm to carry out this malicious act, hoping to inflict damage on the firm's reputation and standing within the industry.
In the unfolding case of the samosa contamination in Pune, the police have identified and booked five individuals. This group includes two workers from a subcontracting firm that was directly involved in supplying the samosas. Alongside them, three partners from another firm are implicated, a firm which previously lost its contract due to adulteration issues in the snacks it supplied.

The plot thickens as the police explain the dynamics between these individuals. "Out of the five accused, the three partners had allegedly planted the other two workers to ensure the firm that had gotten the fresh contract would get defamed," the police stated. This statement indicates a deliberate attempt to sabotage the reputation of the competing firm by planting workers to taint the food quality.
Digging into the corporate links, Catalyst Service Solutions Pvt. Ltd. surfaces as the key player initially responsible for fulfilling the snack requirements at the automobile company's canteen. Despite this responsibility, Catalyst Service Solutions decided to outsource part of this task, specifically the provision of samosas, to Manohar Enterprise, another subcontracting firm. This decision entangled Manohar Enterprise in the scandalous act orchestrated by the accused parties, showcasing a tangled web of business relationships and retaliatory actions within the food supply chain to the corporate canteen.
In a detailed investigation conducted on Sunday, the case involving Manohar Enterprises took a significant turn. After questioning the staff of Manohar Enterprises regarding the unsettling discovery in the samosas, the police uncovered that two individuals, Firoz Shaikh and Vicky Shaikh, were allegedly behind the act of contaminating the food. "During the investigation on Sunday, 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," stated the police. This revelation pointed towards a deliberate act of sabotage.
Further interrogations shed light on a larger scheme of corporate rivalry and deliberate food adulteration. The employees implicated in this act were found to be connected to SRA Enterprises, a firm whose contract had been previously terminated due to adulteration incidents. It came to light that these individuals were sent to Manohar Enterprises with the specific intent to compromise the food quality, thereby discrediting Manohar Enterprises.

"The other three accused are the partners of SRA Enterprises, which was removed from the contract earlier after a first aid bandage was found in the samosa supplied to the automobile company," the police disclosed. This statement highlighted the ongoing issues with SRA Enterprises and their continued impact on the food supply to the company, revealing a troubling history of negligence and malpractice within the corporate catering industry.
In response to the disturbing events surrounding the contaminated samosas at the company's canteen, legal actions have been initiated. The police have registered a case under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 328, which pertains to causing harm through poison or other harmful substances, and 120B, which deals with criminal conspiracy. These charges underscore the seriousness of the act, highlighting the legal implications of endangering public health through deliberate food adulteration.
Specifically, Sr PI Gyaneshwar Katkar from Chikhli Police Station reported, "On March 27, some harmful objects like condom, gutka and stones were found in the samosa served in the canteen of Tata Motors car manufacturing plant." The canteen services were managed by Catalyst Service Solutions, a company tasked with providing snacks there.
The situation was taken seriously by the involved parties. The supplier of the samosas to this canteen was Manohar Enterprises. An investigation into this matter revealed that some employees from Manohar Enterprises were responsible for the act. Sr PI Katkar explained the findings: "During the investigation, it was found that two staffers of Manohar Enterprises stuffed the objectionable items in the samosas."
Legal actions followed the investigation's findings. "A case has been filed against 5 people," confirmed Sr PI Katkar, indicating the seriousness of the offense. The authorities are actively working on the case to understand the full scope and prevent such incidents in the future. As Sr PI Katkar noted, "Further investigation is underway," showing the ongoing effort to address and rectify the situation comprehensively.
The investigation into this troubling incident is still ongoing, with authorities working diligently to uncover all facets of the case and ensure justice is served. This incident is not isolated, as there have been several instances of unhygienic and unsafe food being distributed in various institutional canteens.
A particularly shocking incident occurred earlier this year in Uttar Pradesh, where approximately 20 teachers suffered food poisoning after consuming samosas bought from a local sweet shop. The samosas, upon investigation, were found to be not only stale but also infested with poisonous worms. This incident, like the one in Pune, highlights the critical need for stringent food safety standards and regular inspections to prevent such dangerous situations and ensure the wellbeing of consumers in institutional settings.
In July 2023, an unsettling incident at the UT Red Cross Canteen located in Chandigarh’s Government Multi-Specialist Hospital came to light when a customer discovered a worm in her dosa. The customer, identified as Pooja, took immediate action by lodging a formal complaint with the food safety department. In her written complaint, Pooja provided a detailed account of the incident, expressing her concern and disgust at the lack of hygiene and safety in the food served at the hospital canteen.
Following the complaint, a controversy ensued, involving the canteen’s current and previous contractors. The current contractor of the canteen pointed fingers at the staff employed by the previous contractor. He alleged that this was a deliberate act of sabotage, aimed at causing trouble and damaging the reputation of the current canteen management. This accusation added another layer of complexity to the situation, suggesting that the problem might be rooted in ongoing disputes between the past and present contractors, rather than being a simple case of negligence or oversight in food hygiene and safety.
