Men place bone in veg biryani to avoid paying bill at UP eatery
An official said that while police have intervened in the matter, no formal proceedings have been initiated since there has been no complaint.
The incident occurred at the Biryani Bay restaurant at Shastri Chowk in the Cantonment Police Station area on the night of July 31.
A group of eight to ten men went to the restaurant and ordered both vegetarian and non-vegetarian biryani. Shortly after their food was served, one of the men screamed that his veg biryani had a bone in it.

The restaurant immediately called the police, who calmed the customers down and called to examine the CCTV footage.
What CCTV shows?
The CCTV footage shows one of the men handing another a bone, who then secretively places it on the veg biryani plate.
Restaurant owner Ravikar Singh also corroborated that the youths discreetly placed the bone into the veg biryani.
Another video shows the men claiming to the restaurant staff that they found bones in their vegetarian food.
"Veg mei haddi nikli hai. Koi safai nahi hai yaha pe," (We found bone in a veg dish, there is no cleanliness here) one of the men is heard saying in the video. They claim that there is no 'proper hygiene' at the eatery.
However, Singh insisted that there is no chance of "contamination" as meat is cooked separately in his kitchen.
"They clearly wanted to avoid paying the bill, which was around ₹5,000-6,000. Their actions were completely deliberate," Singh told the police.
Cantonment Circle Officer Yogendra Singh said that "legal action is underway" in the case.

The Spectator wins defamation claim brought by Muslim activist who criticised Hindus
TOI correspondent from London : The Spectator magazine and Douglas Murray have won a defamation case brought by a Muslim online influencer who stirred up trouble during the 2022 Leicester riots. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Mohammed Hijab, a YouTuber with 1.3 million followers, whose real name is Mohammed Hegab, claimed that an article in the Spectator about the riots, titled 'Leicester and the downside with diversity' and published in Sept 2022, defamed him. The author, Murray, wrote Hijab was a 'a street agitator' who 'cropped up in Leicester to whip up his followers'. He wrote: 'Among other things he (Hijab) told them that Hindus are ridiculous people, not least because of their belief in reincarnation.' Hijab sued for defamation claiming he lost thousands of pounds in fees as a result of the article. But in a judgment handed down on Tuesday in the high court, Justice Johnson found that what Murray wrote about Hijab is 'substantially true, and it is not materially inaccurate'. Hijab's claim was that his comments were not about Hindus but 'the Hindutva' in Leicester which, Hijab, claimed 'promotes conspiracy theories, including that Muslim men conspire to convert Hindu women to Islam'. Johnson wrote: 'When asked to name anyone in the world who subscribed to the Hindutva ideology but who was not Hindu [Hijab] was able to give only one name: Benjamin Netanyahu.' He also said Hijab 'lied on significant issues, with the consequence that his evidence, overall, is worthless'. Johnson pointed out a video of Hijab's speech in Leicester shows him, 'far more vividly than is conveyed by the words of the article, directly whipping up a large group of masked men and ridiculing Hinduism'.

UP woman claims man faked religion to marry, forced her to convert, abort pregnancy; 4 held
The woman alleged that in 2017, she met the man who introduced himself as Vineet Singh and their relationship flourished. Police said they got married in a local temple following Hindu rituals in December that year. According to the woman's complaint, an FIR was registered and an investigation initiated, said Superintendent of Police Vineet Jaiswal. Gonda (UP), Aug 6 (PTI) A man and his three family members have been booked here on the charge of him marrying a woman by concealing his religious identity, forcing her to convert and undergo abortion, police said on Wednesday. She claimed that it later came to the fore that the man's real name was Azam Hasan Sheikh. The complainant stated that the family took her to their home in West Bengal, where the accused man's father, Akbar Ali, mother Rashida, and sister Manuja pressured her to convert. They reportedly took her to a cleric and forced her to convert and solemnise a second marriage under Muslim customs, according to the complaint. After finding out that the woman was pregnant, the family allegedly forced her to undergo an abortion, it added. Superintendent of Police Jaiswal said the woman later managed to escape and return to Gonda, where she received medical treatment and began living with her parents. She further alleged that on July 29, Azam attempted blackmail by threatening her over the phone to leak private photos. He also allegedly contacted her friends, falsely claiming that she had willingly accepted Islam, thereby damaging her social reputation. Based on her complaint, an FIR was registered last Friday against all four named accused under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita along with provisions of the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021. An investigation is underway, the police added. PTI COR KIS ANM NSD NSD This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.
