    Digital Desk: A shocking incident has rocked the industrial city of Pimpri Chinchwad in Pune, as five persons were booked after condoms, gutkha, and stones were allegedly found in samosas supplied to a major automobile firm, a police official said on Monday.
     
    According to the official, those booked include three partners of a different subcontracting company that was previously expelled for adulteration, as well as two employees of the company who were asked to provide the samosas.
     
    "The three partners had allegedly planted these two workers to ensure the firm that had got the samosa contract now would get defamed," the officials said.
        
    He added, "Catalyst Service Solutions Pvt Ltd is responsible for providing food items to the canteen of the automobile firm. The firm had given a contract to provide samosas to another subcontracting firm named Manohar Enterprises. On Saturday, some of the automobile firm employees found condoms, gutka, and stones in the samosas.”
     
    The Chikhli police station official stated that following an investigation into the incident, two employees of Manohar Enterprises, Firoz Shaikh and Vicky Shaikh, were found to have reportedly placed condoms, gutka, and stones inside the samosas.
     
     "We registered a case under IPC section 328 (causing hurt by means of poison) and 120B (criminal conspiracy). The two accused told us they are employees of SRA Enterprises and were sent by its partners to Manohar Enterprises to adulterate food supplied by the latter," he stated.
     
    Following the discovery of a bandage in a snack that SRA Enterprises had provided, the company was terminated from the contract. The partners, Rahim, Azhar, and Majhar Shaikh sought to damage Manohar Enterprises' standing in the marketplace.
     
     "One person has been arrested and further investigation is underway," he added.
