Peel regional police say investigators wrapped their work at the Bombay Bhel restaurant in Mississauga, Ont., on Sunday night, but management says the restaurant will be closed until further notice.

The restaurant’s website says the Mississauga establishment will remain closed until further notice, but its three other locations are open for business.

A statement posted on the restaurant’s Facebook page on Saturday says that they have “been serving our customers for over 30 years and will do so for another 30 years in the great city of Mississauga.”
