New Delhi: The Uttar Pradesh police on Monday (April 7) arrested a restaurant owner in Noida for allegedly delivering chicken biryani to a customer who had ordered vegetarian biryani through a food delivery app.

The action against the restaurant owner happened after the woman who had ordered vegetarian biryani claimed in a video posted on social media that the restaurant, Lucknowi Kabab Paratha in Sector 2, sent her a non-vegetarian biryani even though she ordered a vegetarian biryani, reported Indian Express.

“…I also had one or two bites from it. I am a pure vegetarian and in Navratri, they have sent non-vegetarian biryani… They have done it knowingly,” said the woman in the video.

Shakti Mohan Avasthy, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Central Noida said that the Noida police launched an investigation based on the viral video and called the restaurant staff for questioning.

“Acting on the basis of the complaint of the woman, the police registered an FIR and arrested Rahul Rajvanshi, a resident of Ecovillage-1 of Central Noida’s Bisrakh. A sample of the food has been sent to the food security officer for further investigation,” said the Noida police in an official statement.
