A restaurant owner has been arrested after a Noida woman claimed she ordered veg biryani during Navratra but received a non-veg biryani instead. The woman, Chhaya Sharma, shared a tearful video in which she claimed the restaurant intentionally sent her a non-vegetarian item.
Speaking through tears in her video, Sharma said she had ordered a veg biryani from Lucknowi Kabab Paratha via Swiggy. When she received her order, she took a couple of bites before she realised she was eating non-veg.
“I am a pure vegetarian woman, and they have sent me this non-veg biryani during Navaratri,” she says in Hindi in her video, which has been widely circulated online. “This is intentional. Whoever did this has done it intentionally. How can they send non-veg when I ordered veg biryani,” she claimed.
HT.com could not independently verify the authenticity of her claims.
Sharma’s video has been widely circulated online, racking up millions of views across social media platforms like Instagram and X. While the video triggered outrage among a section of the internet, others wondered why the police would arrest a restaurant owner over a mistake.
