The Central Railway has shut down a food stall at Karjat station after a female commuter allegedly discovered a "piece of soap" inside a vada pav purchased from the stall.

According to a complaint filed by Rashida Ishaq Ghori (a copy of which is with Mid-Day), she bought the vada pav from a stall on platform number 2 and was shocked to find a piece of soap inside. She immediately returned to the stall and alerted a security guard at the station, who reportedly refused to intervene. Ghori then escalated the matter by filing a complaint at the station master’s office and through the RailMadad app.
