The MLA of Shiv Sena, Sanjay Gaikwad, is alleged to have slapped a canteen employee at the MLA's hostel in Mumbai following a complaint about the food being stale. Subsequent to the incident on Tuesday evening, the Buldhana MLA expressed that the food provided was of substandard quality and announced his intention to raise this matter during the current monsoon session of the Maharashtra legislature.

A video capturing the incident, which occurred at the Akashvani MLA hostel, has circulated widely on social media platforms, reported news agency PTI. 

In the footage, Gaikwad is observed chastising the canteen operator, declining to settle the bill, and physically assaulting the staff member present at the billing counter.
