Zomato, Pune eatery fined Rs 55,000 for serving chicken instead of paneer

A consumer court of Pune slapped a Rs 55,000 fine on food delivery platform Zomato along with a hotel for delivering non-vegetarian food to a lawyer who had ordered a vegetarian dish. According to media reports, the consumer court directed Zomato to pay the fine within 45 days to city-based lawyer Shanmukh Deshmukh who was delivered non-veg food not just once, but twice. He had ordered paneer butter masala but was delivered butter chicken instead. "Since the curries of both dishes look alike, he didn't realise it was a chicken dish and ate it," said the reports.
