In Bhiwandi on October 7, 2026, a video surfaced online purportedly showing a live rat swimming within a vat of gulab jamuns at a sweet shop on Shanti Nagar Road. The footage, which quickly went viral, sparked outrage among residents and led the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to launch an investigation against the establishment, Harish Gulab Jamun.
The FDA team inspected the premises, collected a sample of the sweets for laboratory testing, and issued a stop-business notice to the shop owner, Harish Sahu. The notice requires the food business to cease operations until the FDA completes its inspection and laboratory analysis. The owner stated that the outlet featured in the video belongs to him, but he admitted he was unaware of when the video was recorded and how the rat entered the sweets.
As the investigation proceeds, questions are also being raised about the food safety practices at other Harish Gulab Jamun outlets across the city.
