Food doesn't have a religion: Zomato tells man who cancelled order for 'non-Hindu rider'
New Delhi, July 31 (IBNS): Religion happened to be a reason enough for a professional with an MBA degree to cancel an order placed with Zomato, an Indian restaurant search and discovery service which also delivers food.
A person named Amit Shukla took to Twitter on Tuesday to say that he had cancelled an order which was placed with Zomato for allocating a "non-Hindu rider". Not bothering the refund, Amit just wanted the order to be cancelled.
"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" Amit, whose Twitter bio reads 'nationalist proud Hindu', wrote on Twitter.

From some other comments, it can be learnt that Amit denied to take the meal from a Muslim man because it was Shraavana, the fifth month of the Hindu calendar.
