According to police officials, the incident took place on August 13 at 9:30 pm when two friends visited 'Papa Pancho Da Dhaba' restaurant located at Pali Naka in Bandra West. The customers ordered one chicken plate, one mutton plate, two servings of Dal Makhni, two servings of Dahi Matka, and four Parathas for their dinner.
A police officer explained, "While they were eating, they noticed an unusual mass in the chicken plate that seemed different from the chicken.
