Food complaint against dosa seller turns into extortion case involving former Mumbai corporator

A food complaint alleging a rat in a dosa has led to extortion charges against Tukaram Mundhe, a former Mumbai corporator. The complaint, which could have triggered routine food safety action, allegedly became the basis for extracting money from the seller.

Mundhe, who previously held a corporator position in Mumbai, is accused of using the food quality complaint as leverage to demand payment from the restaurant owner. The incident highlights concerns about potential misuse of civic authority and public complaints for personal gain.
