In response to the woman’s complaint, the food department fined the restaurant ₹5,000. However, the woman is demanding ₹50 lakh compensation.

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

The woman said that she has never consumed non-vegetarian food in her life.

Nirali, who is a vegetarian by choice, ordered her dinner from ‘Pick Up Meals by Terra’ on May 3. After having a few bites of the sandwich, she noticed that the paneer was unusually hard. She initially assumed it to be soya, but it turned out to be chicken, according to a report by India Today.

“I have never consumed non-vegetarian food in my life. It was a shocking and dreadful experience,” the woman told India Today.

The woman has filed a complaint against the restaurant with the Deputy Health Officer of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation. She also demanded a 50 lakh compensation.

After her complaint, the food department slapped a fine of 5,000 on the restaurant. However, she feels that this fine is not enough.

“The incident was very dreadful, and it can’t be reversed. 5,000 fine is not enough, and I will go to the consumer court,” she affirmed.

“I could’ve asked for more, but even that wouldn’t have served justice to what I felt,” she continued.

Nirali told the outlet that she is doing this for the youth who experience similar incidents but are unaware of their rights.
