A woman from Ahmedabad in Gujarat placed an order for a paneer tikka sandwich from a restaurant through a food delivery app. But after receiving her order, she was shocked to discover that the restaurant had delivered a non-veg sandwich instead of the vegetarian one she had ordered.

Nirali, who is a vegetarian by choice, had ordered her dinner from Pick Up Meals by Terra on 3rd of May. On receiving her sandwich she had a few bites when she noticed that the paneer was unusually hard. She initially assumed it to be soya, but later it turned out to be chicken. She was shocked to discover that she had received a non vegetarian sandwich instead of the paneer sandwich which she had ordered.

Talking to the media she said she had never consumed non-vegetarian food in her life and it was a shocking and dreadful experience for her. The lady has filed a complaint against the restaurant with the Deputy Health Officer of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation. She also demanded a Rs 50 lakh compensation for the same.

After her complaint, the food department has slapped a fine of Rs 5,000 on the restaurant. But she felt that this fine is not enough. She said the incident is very dreadful, and it cannot be reversed. She further added Rs 5,000 fine is not enough, and she will go to the consumer court.

She said she could’ve asked for more, but even that would not have served justice to what she felt. Nirali told the restaurant owners that she is doing this for the youth who experience similar incidents but are not aware of their rights.  Although the woman is facing backlash for her behavior but she has found support from people who commend her for standing up against what she perceives as a serious oversight in food handling and consumer rights.
