Jabalpur (MP), August 1
The police in Jabalpur on Thursday sought a written undertaking from Zomato customer Amit Shukla that he would not spread religious hatred.
On Tuesday night, Shukla had tweeted about cancelling his order placed on Zomato as the designated rider was a "non-Hindu".
"Just cancelled an order on @ZomatoIN they allocated a non hindu rider for my food they said they can't change rider and can't refund on cancellation I said you can't force me to take a delivery I don't want don't refund just cancel," Shukla said in the tweet.
Zomato, in response, stood its ground and flatly refused to change delivery executive.
Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal echoed his company's stand, with a firm message. "We are proud of the idea of India - and the diversity of our esteemed customers and partners. We aren't sorry to lose any business that comes in the way of our values," he tweeted.
Shukla’s tweet and the company's response that "food has no religion" went viral.
A notice was issued to Shukla on Thursday as "preventive action", city police said. —PTI
