Bareilly. A vegetarian Brahmin youth was given a non-vegetarian pizza. On Saturday, he broadcasted the video and demanded action. He said that my faith and sentiments were hurt due to the negligence of the employees of the pizza shop located in the city.
Inspector Dhananjay Pandey of Izzatnagar police station said that a video was received accusing the employees of Domino’s Pizza shop of negligence. On this basis, when the victim Lakhan Sharma was talked to, he repeated the allegations but refused to register an FIR.
Ordered vegetarian pizza
Lakhan Sharma said that on Friday night he went to eat pizza. Ordered a vegetarian pizza, after some time the employee brought a box. Vegetarian pizza was written on it too, so started eating. When the taste seemed strange, he removed the layers of the pizza and then came to know that it was non-vegetarian. On complaining about this, the shop employees admitted that two pizzas were ordered together. Due to mistake, non-vegetarian pizza was given instead of vegetarian.
According to Lakhan, when he complained to the company through email, the reply came that the people of the pizza shop will talk to you and find a solution. He said, I don’t want a solution but an improvement so that no other vegetarian has to face such a bad situation. When the matter came to my notice, the police was sent there. Lakhan Sharma said that a reputed company gave non-veg pizza instead of veg but did not give a complaint letter. Due to this, no action was taken.
