What was meant to be a wholesome meal for election staff has landed a local caterer in serious legal trouble. The Bolinj Police have booked a Virar-based caterer for allegedly cheating the Vasai–Virar City Municipal Corporation (VVCMC) by flouting the agreed food menu during election duty and causing financial loss to the civic body.

According to police, the accused, Sudhakar Sankhe, owner of Sankhe Caterers, had signed a formal contract with the municipal corporation to supply good quality, full meals to officers and staff deployed at polling stations during the recent elections. However, instead of the promised menu, election personnel were allegedly served only pulao.
