Why it matters for the brand
The proposed AHAR SOP is still at the planning stage and does not change the regulatory picture, but it shows that complaint-driven FDA action and online extortion are a growing reputational risk for Mumbai's independent restaurants.
What to track next
- AHAR publishes or circulates a written SOP to members
- A formal AHAR meeting or representation to the FDA or Mumbai police
- Police register an FIR or make arrests in the Radha Krishna extortion allegation
- More Mumbai eateries publicly report similar threats or blackmail
- FDA issues a statement or circular on complaint handling or verification
