Zomato row deepens as Hindu body backs beleaguered customer

Saturday, 03 August 2019 | Staff Reporter | Bhopal

The controversy further deepens over a religious customer denying an order from Non-Hindu delivery boy of Zomato, as a Hindutva group has come forward to back the beleaguered customer.

After the district administration served a notice to the customer Amit Shukla, Jabalpur Superintendent of Police Amit Singh has initiated a probe into the incident and has ordered an Addl SP to probe into the matter before the police would take any action.

In a separate action, Gorakhpur tehsildar Pramod Chaturvedi has served a notice to ‘errant’ Zomato customer Pt Amit Shukla and has ordered him to furnish his reply in Tehsil office personally.

Shukla however speaking to the media has clarified that he had simply cancelled the ordered as a non-Hindu was supposed to deliver food and he was on fast in month of shrawan. He had tweeted the matter but some ‘vested’ elements twisted the entire incident.

The virtual world though has seen a split over the incident with some backing the customer in preserving his food rights while some others are lauding the company which said, “Food has no religion.”

Minister for Urban Administration and Development Jaivardhan Singh also took to twitter to slam the customer saying now those offering food are divided into Hindu and Muslims and called it a contagious attitude. “The politics has divided the hunger into Hindu and Muslim,” said the minister.

Meanwhile a right wing group –Hindu Seva Parishad has come forward in support of Shukla and handed a memorandum to SP Amit Singh urging him not to initiate any action against him and claimed he was just using his religious freedom.
