‘Anti-government’ samosa theft prompts India police probe

Author: AFP

Missing samosas sparked a police probe in India with five officers facing disciplinary action for allegedly eating a plate of the savoury treats intended for a senior politician, media reports said Friday. Samosas — pockets of meat or vegetable filling cooked inside a blanket of deep-fried pastry — are a mainstay of Indian snack cuisine, served on train carriages and street corners around the country. They are also a staple of government receptions, including one staged last month by police in Himachal Pradesh for an official visit by the northern state’s chief minister, Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu. A special helping of samosas specially intended for Sukhu’s relish instead allegedly found their way into the mouths of five police officers.
