Noida: A restaurant owner in Noida has been arrested for allegedly delivering non-vegetarian biryani to a vegetarian woman customer who ordered food through an online food delivery app, police said on Monday.
The police action followed a video uploaded by Chhaya Sharma from Greater Noida on social media that went viral.
In the video, Sharma claimed the restaurant delivered her a non-vegetarian biryani even though she ordered a vegetarian biryani because she was a pure vegetarian.
She allegedly says to have had a few bites of the non-vegetarian biriyani while observing a strict fast during the Navratri festival.
As soon as she realised, Sharma posted her disgust on X and Instagram, racking up millions of views.
While some netizens empathised with her, some wondered why she ordered from a non-vegetarian restaurant if she was fasting for Navratri. Others questioned police action against the restaurant owner.
