“An FIR was registered under relevant IPC sections and the matter is being investigated,” said Kshatrapal, SHO, Ashiana, on the complaint of Rakesh Kumar Shastri, a resident of Ashiana.

“The food was delivered by a delivery boy. It tasted strange as we started consuming it…that’s when I checked the box and found that the restaurant sent chilli chicken instead of chilli paneer,” Shastri stated in the complaint, adding that his wife soon started vomiting when she got to know about it.
