Dead Rat Allegedly Found in Dosa at Borivali Restaurant
A customer in Borivali says a dead rat was found inside a dosa.
The customer’s brother had already eaten a few bites.
He became very shocked and vomited after seeing it.
The family reported the incident to the police.
They also want food-safety officials to investigate.
The complaint comes while Maharashtra is checking restaurants more closely.
Officials have suspended or acted against several eateries for hygiene problems.
Those problems reportedly included rats, cockroaches, flies, dirty storage areas, and unsafe food temperatures.
The allegations about the dosa still require investigation.

The complainant’s brother had eaten several bites before discovering the rat and reportedly vomited immediately afterward.
