Outrage After African-British Man Eats Chicken Inside ISKCON Restaurant In London: "Horrendous"

NDTV20-07-2025
A shocking incident unfolded at ISKCON's Govinda restaurant, a well-known pure vegetarian establishment, when a British youth of African descent entered the premises and asked if they served meat. Upon being informed that the restaurant only serves vegetarian food, the man brazenly pulled out a box of chicken from KFC and proceeded to eat it inside the restaurant. What's more, he offered the non-vegetarian food to others present, including staff and patrons. The incident has sparked outrage and raised questions about whether this act was motivated by racism or Hindu hate.
According to the video, the incident happened in London.
Here's the video:
Horrendous. 😳😡
This African-British youth entered into ISKCON's Govinda restaurant - knowingly that it's pure Veg restaurant - asked if there's meat available, then pulled out his KFC box and not only ate chicken (chewed like a 🐷), but also offered others working/eating in… pic.twitter.com/TtPJz9Jg7m

Internet users have slammed the man's blatant disregard for the restaurant's ethos and called it an act of racism. Some said that his actions may have been driven by a lack of understanding or a deliberate attempt to disrespect the cultural and religious values of the Hindu community.
One user wrote, "He achieved nothing by harassing people! Zero achievement but created a nuisance in society."
Another commented, "Hope the complaint was filed in the local police station … Don't know if he can be arrested for this or not, but this is pure hate towards Hindus and he is fully aware that Hindus won't retaliate, so he dared to do such a horrendous thing."
A third said, "Why didn't they call the police? They are smiling, if you are a coward don't ask others for help."
A fourth added, "The intentional violation of a cultural and religious norm in this manner is a clear demonstration of intolerance that cannot be tolerated in any civilised society."

Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell moved to minimum security Texas prison

Ghislaine Maxwell, the accomplice of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has been moved from a prison in Florida to a minimum security facility in Texas, the Bureau of Prisons said Friday. This undated trial evidence image obtained December 8, 2021, from the US District Court for the Southern District of New York shows British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell and US financier Jeffrey Epstein.(AFP) No reason was given for the move but it comes a week after a top Justice Department official met with Maxwell to ask her questions about Epstein, who died in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking underage girls. "We can confirm Ghislaine Maxwell is in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan in Bryan, Texas," a Bureau of Prisons spokesman said. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer, interviewed Maxwell for two days at a Florida courthouse last week in a highly unusual meeting between a convicted felon and high-ranking Justice official. Blanche has declined so far to say what was discussed but Maxwell's lawyer, David Markus, said she answered every question she was asked. Maxwell has offered to testify before Congress about Epstein if given immunity and has also reportedly been seeking a pardon from Trump, a one-time close friend of Epstein. The former British socialite is serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted in 2021 of recruiting underage girls for Epstein. According to the Bureau of Prisons, the Texas prison where Maxwell is now incarcerated houses 635 female inmates and is a minimum security facility. Trump is facing mounting demands from Democrats and many of his supporters to be more transparent about the case of the wealthy and well-connected Epstein. Trump's conspiracy-minded supporters have been obsessed with the Epstein case for years and have been up in arms since the FBI and Justice Department said last month that Epstein had committed suicide while in jail, did not blackmail any prominent figures, and did not keep a "client list." The president raised further questions this week as he told reporters he fell out with Epstein after the financier "stole" female employees from the spa at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. One of those girls was Virginia Giuffre, who accused Epstein of using her as a sex slave and committed suicide at her home in Australia in April. Giuffre's family issued a statement this week appealing to Trump not to consider pardoning Maxwell, who they called a 'monster who deserves to rot in prison for the rest of her life.'

Cong turned malegaon probe into 'political witch hunt': Himanta

Guwahati: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday alleged that the investigation into the Malegaon blast case was a conspiracy by the Congress to frame RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat . It was nothing but a " political witch hunt " unleashed by the then home minister P Chidambaram , Sarma alleged while talking to reporters. "It was a conspiracy hatched by the Congress to involve Bhagwat, but the court verdict has exposed the party."

"After this verdict, my assessment is that Chidambaram should now be quizzed. He should be asked why he tried to frame the Hindu society with terror. People should also ask this question to him," he added. Almost 17 years after the Malegaon blast that claimed six lives and injured 101 people, a special court in Mumbai on Thursday acquitted all seven accused, including former BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur , noting that "there was no reliable and cogent evidence" against them.

Yavat in Pune witnesses mob violence, arson over Whatsapp post; youth booked

There is heavy police presence in the village at the moment and peace and order has been restored, these officials said. A motorcycle was set ablaze and a bakery was damaged, the officials said, adding teargas shells had to be lobbed to bring the situation under control amid large mobs taking to the streets to vent their ire. Pune, Aug 1 (PTI) An irate mob vandalised properties and indulged in arson in Yavat in Pune's Daund tehsil on Friday afternoon over an objectionable post allegedly uploaded on social media by a youth from a different community, police officials said. The youth, who hails from outside the village, had kept an objectionable Whatsapp post, and he has been detained, Sandip Singh Gill, Superintendent of Police (Pune Rural), told PTI. 'On being alerted, we detained the youth. However, by then the post went viral, leading to trouble in the village already tense due to some previous incidents. The mob vandalised structures belonging to members of the opposite community hailing from outside,' Gill said. A Yavat police station official said a youth had allegedly desecrated the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on July 26, which had angered residents. 'Though there was some tension in the locality, the situation was under control since the person who committed the act was arrested at the time. Even a Hindu Jan Akrosh morcha held in Yavat on Thursday went off peacefully,' he said. 'The objectionable post by a youth now sparked off fresh tension. Mobs hit the streets and resorted to the vandalism, targeting makeshift religious structures, houses, shops and vehicles of the opposite community, who are basically not natives of the village and have come from outside to earn their livelihoods,' he added. To bring the situation under control, police resorted to lathi charge and lobbing of teargas shells, the official said. 'The youth behind the Whatsapp post has been booked. The process to register cases in connection with vandalism is underway. Some 1000 people scattered at three to four places indulged in vandalism,' the Yavat police station official informed. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who was in Pune to attend an event, said a youth, who hails from outside, had put up an objectionable post about a Hindu priest raping someone, which angered residents. 'To disperse the mob, police had to resort to lathi charge. The situation in Yavat is now under control and peace prevails. People from both communities are together and efforts are on to defuse tensions. Some persons keep such objectionable posts just to create tension. Strict action will be taken against them. No one has the right to post objectionable content,' the CM said. Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, who visited the site, said the youth who allegedly uploaded the objectionable Whatsapp post hails from Nanded and is a daily wage labourer. 'He put out an objectionable post related to an incident that took place in Madhya Pradesh. This angered locals and they resorted to vandalism. The situation is now under control and police are maintaining a close watch. No one should spread rumours or misinformation,' Pawar said.
