Online food ordering giant Zomato was ruling over all across social media because of a reply to a customer who said no to order because of the non-Hindu delivery guy.
The guy has been identified as Pandit Amit Shukla and being a Hindu, he did not want his food to be delivered by a Muslim in the auspicious month of Shravan.
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

Thanks for taking this stand, Zomato. Giving in to such idiots would only empower them more.
