Investigation Reveals Sabotage Scheme

The officer added, “Probe suggest that the catering contractor had given a sub-contract for the supply of samosas to a local entity. This sub-contract was terminated after an adhesive bandage used for first aid was found in their samosas. This sub-contract was subsequently given to another entity. Investigation suggests that the earlier sub-contractor had sent his two employees to work for the new sub-contractor to sabotage the business. We have booked five persons including three who run the supplier firm and the two employees who were sent to work for the second company.”

Senior Inspector Dnyaneshwar Katkar, when reached for comment, stated, “We have apprehended an individual associated with the initial subcontractor, and the investigation is ongoing.”

The police have invoked Section 328 of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with causing harm to an individual by administering poison or any harmful substance.
