Vodka Scandal at Indian Restaurant | Glasgow News

An Indian restaurant in North Ayrshire faced serious trouble after being caught serving vodka that didn’t match its label—Smirnoff No. 21 Red Label was missing its marker, even though alcohol content and conductivity checked out. Trading Standards flagged the issue in May, and Diageo confirmed the fake contents. Authorities initially considered harsh penalties like license suspension or staff replacements, but after the owner, Davinder Summel, swiftly took corrective action—including staff licensing courses and switching to bulk bottles—the Licensing Board opted for a warning letter instead, to be noted on the license for five years. A former employee’s possible involvement was suspected, but the owner, with 16 years at the helm, chalked it up to either mischief or laziness—and now, with his brother and three others licensed, the restaurant is back on track.
