An official said that while police have intervened in the matter, no formal proceedings have been initiated since there has been no complaint.
The incident occurred at the Biryani Bay restaurant at Shastri Chowk in the Cantonment Police Station area on the night of July 31.
A group of eight to ten men went to the restaurant and ordered both vegetarian and non-vegetarian biryani. Shortly after their food was served, one of the men screamed that his veg biryani had a bone in it.
The restaurant immediately called the police, who calmed the customers down and called to examine the CCTV footage.

Another video shows the men claiming to the restaurant staff that they found bones in their vegetarian food.
"Veg mei haddi nikli hai. Koi safai nahi hai yaha pe," (We found bone in a veg dish, there is no cleanliness here) one of the men is heard saying in the video. They claim that there is no 'proper hygiene' at the eatery.
