Tests conducted at a Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) laboratory revealed rice supplied to a suburban school was not plastic/Chinese rice, but a fortified version of the grain.

These tests happened after the school complained to the police verbally and posted a video regarding the same on social media, the civic body seized the consignment and sent it for tests. The school might now have to face some trouble as the BMC education officer has warned of action against the authorities for defaming them. The school received the rice from BMC’s education department on September 1 and soon after distributed it among 450 kids.
