This, however, was not the end of the ordeal for Radhakrishna Hotel in Mumbai’s Borivali. The hotel owner soon started receiving calls threatening to release the video. A dead rat found in a dosa at a Mumbai eatery led to an immediate suspension of the hotel’s license last week, on September 28. A demand of Rs 25 lakh was placed to close the case.
The dine-out turned chaotic after Acharya alleged that a dead rat was found inside a Mysore Masala Dosa , one of the items they ordered for the table. The hotel owner claims that the incident brought the hotel to the verge of closure. Subsequently, the hotel owner began receiving calls threatening to spread the video further. It is alleged that the accused also contacted the hotel owner’s relatives and spread the news about the alleged incident.
On September 24, Mansi Acharya had visited the Radhakrishna Hotel along with two men and a child. After the video of the incident went viral on social media, the Food and Drug Administration suspended the hotel’s license on September 28. On September 29, the hotel owner lodged a complaint with the Borivali police. By then, Rs 1 lakh in cash had already been given to the caller.
