Pune, February 13: The Nepali contractor of the German Bakery, who claims to have brought popularity to it, is parting ways with the owners after a two-decade long stint over sharing of the compensation received from the state government following the bomb blast at the eatery last year.
Ramgopal Karkee sounded bitter when he said that a part of the Rs 14 lakh compensation awarded by Maharashtra government to the Kharose family, owners of the eatery premises, should have been given to him as he was the one who ran the German Bakery giving rent to them.
“I have been associated with the German Bakery since 1988 along with my German partner Mr Caluss (who later left) turning it into a brand with foreigners and locals in the city with certain specially-made snacks.
