A customer has alleged that she found a piece of glass inside a burger at Jimis Burger in Andheri, Mumbai, prompting complaints to the police and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The incident allegedly took place on August 16, when Tanisha Gogri visited the restaurant with a friend. She ordered a Korean Veg Burger.
According to the complaint, Tanisha found a piece of glass in the burger while eating it. She informed the restaurant management about the incident.
