Maharashtra FDA officer forced to eat expired biscuits over bribery claims
- A FDA officer was surrounded by angry locals in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, over allegations of protecting a shopkeeper selling expired food.
- The dispute began after a two-year-old child reportedly fell ill after eating a savoury snack mix bought from the shop.
- During inspection, the officer found and seized expired biscuit packets, but locals claimed strict action was not taken against the shopkeeper.
- Residents accused the officer of allegedly accepting a bribe and tried to force him to eat the expired biscuits.
- Authorities later moved to take action over obstruction of the officer; the bribery allegation remains unproven.
