He's Tukaram Mundhe, a 2005-batch IAS from Maharashtra.
Over the last few weeks, you might have heard his name. That is because he was recently appointed Commissioner of State’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Since taking charge, the FDA has been on an absolute warpath, raiding illegal, fake, synthetic, and adulterated products. From synthetic milk networks and adulterated paneer to illegal gutkha and unhygienic eateries, nothing has escaped his radar.
Mundhe has made it clear that even the most famous names will not get a free pass. His department shocked Mumbai by suspending the food licenses of iconic establishments, such as the 73-year-old Marine Drive ice cream parlor K. Rustom & Co., alongside famous eateries like Shalimar Hospitality, Noor Mohammadi Hotel, and Rahmaniya Restaurant, after surprise inspections uncovered severe hygiene violations, including live pests and expired ingredients.
Such is the fear of his crackdowns that, just two days ago, dairy farmers were caught on video spilling hundreds of liters of synthetic milk after rumors of an impending FDA raid spread.
This is his 25th transfer in a 21-year career, a testament to his refusal to bend to political pressure. It makes you wonder: if just one IAS officer can bring about so much change, where would our country be if every bureaucrat were as uncompromising and proactive as him?

Lok Sabha latest bulletin cautions MPs not to hold religious rituals in parliament complex. Was inauguration of new building by PM sahib complete with bare chested seers & a Sengol not a religious act?
Notice how the entire conversation changed from "E20 will save you lots of money" from "pure petrol will cost you more."
We have been pickpocketed, my friends.
Bhai, the amount of accountability people in this country demand from Rahul Gandhi and the Congress is staggering. If they demanded even 10% of that from Modi and the BJP, the country wouldn’t be in this state today.
And this list includes everyone, from the general public to scholars like Ramachandra Guha, journalists like Nikhil Wagle, and TikTok influencers like Arpit Sharma.
