Lawyer Orders Veg Burger, Gets Chicken Cheese Burger. McDonald's Reacts
A lawyer ordered a vegetarian burger at a McDonald's outlet at an airport. However, what he received was a non-vegetarian burger and the man "unknowingly ate that too". When he realised the mix-up after taking a bite, the staff at the outlet, according to him, took his complaint "very casually". "I ordered Veg Mexican Corn Cheese burger and they gave me non-vegetarian, and unknowingly I ate that when I asked them why they did so, they took it very casually and said sorry sir, non veg hi toh tha (It was just a non-vegetarian burger)," said Ashutosh Dubey, a lawyer at Bombay High Court. Mr Dubey shared a video of his order on X, showing that he was served a non-vegetarian burger. "I am deeply hurt, " he can be heard saying in the video. McDonald's has apologised for the mistake. "Hi. We're extremely sorry that you went through an unpleasant experience. Your issue has been forwarded to the concerned team. Please bear with us for some time, and it'll be resolved. Appreciate your patience in this regard," the social media handle of McDonald's wrote, responding to his post. As per his post, he ordered the burger on the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday at the outlet at Mumbai Airport. "It's Shravan Somvar + Ekadashi, this isn't just a mistake, it's a serious violation of religious beliefs," wrote Mr Dubey, who identifies himself as the head of the BJP Maharashtra SM (Social Media) legal and advisory department. Mr Dubey also responded to McDonald's reply to his post, saying, "This isn't just an 'unpleasant experience'. It's a violation of my religious faith". "I didn't just receive the wrong order, I unknowingly consumed non-veg when I had explicitly ordered veg. A casual apology won't undo this. I expect accountability," he said.

Ordered Veg, Got Chicken: Man Sues McDonald's Over Burger Mix-Up At Mumbai Airport
Last Updated: An advocate served a legal notice to McDonald's India for serving non-vegetarian food instead of vegetarian at Mumbai Airport, demanding an apology, Rs 5 lakh, and staff training. An advocate has served a legal notice to McDonald's India after he was served non-vegetarian food despite ordering a vegetarian meal on the auspicious day of Shravan Somvar and Ekadashi — days of strict fasting and vegetarianism in Hindu tradition. The incident took place at the McDonald's outlet at Mumbai Airport's Terminal 1 near Gate No. 9. In a post on X, Ashutosh J Dubey, Head of BJP Maharashtra Social Media Legal and Advisory Department, claimed he had ordered a Veg Mexican Corn Cheese Burger, Medium Coke, and Cheesy Fries. However, he said he got a Mexican Grill Chicken Cheese Burger, which he consumed unknowingly. 'This is not a simple service error. It is a blatant violation of my religious beliefs, and the staff's response — 'Sorry sir, non-veg hi toh tha' — was deeply insensitive," said Advocate Dubey. The advocate has invoked provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, including Section 318(2) (Acts intended to outrage religious feelings), and Section 331(2) (Wounding religious sentiments) Dubey has demanded a formal public apology from McDonald's India, compensation of Rs 5 lakh for mental agony and religious violation and an assurance of religious and dietary sensitivity training for staff. Failing to receive a response within 7 days, Dubey has stated that he will proceed with criminal and consumer legal action against the fast food giant. The issue has also gained traction on social media, where Dubey declared a personal boycott of McDonald's India, calling on the company to be held accountable for its disregard of India's cultural and religious diversity. view comments First Published: July 22, 2025, 17:22 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Close Shave For Air India Plane During Mumbai Touchdown, Engine Damaged
Mumbai: An Air India flight flying in from Kochi had a close shave while landing in Mumbai this morning after it veered off the rain-soaked runway. Pictures accessed by NDTV show a clump of grass stuck to the rear part of the aircraft and signs of damage on one of the engines. The runway, too, has been damaged. All passengers aboard the aircraft are safe, airport authorities have said. Visuals showed the nacelle of the right engine -- the housing that surrounds the engine -- damaged, evidently having made contact during what is called a runway excursion. The damage to the nacelle means a part of the engine had an impact with the tarmac or the soft side of the runway. The clump of grass on the rear part of the engine indicates that the impact was deep. Government sources said that the plane, after landing, made a runway excursion to one side of the runway. "Marking of one wheel of aircraft went into the grassy area on the side of the runway," a source said. Three signage boards and four runway edge lights were found broken after the incident. According to Air India, the aircraft has been grounded for checks, and the inspection is underway. The two pilots have been derostered pending an inquiry into what led to the scare. The Mumbai Airport issued a statement shortly after the incident. "An incoming aircraft from Kochi experienced a runway excursion at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA), Mumbai at 09.27 hours on 21 July 2025. CSMIA's emergency response teams were immediately activated to manage the runway excursion. All passengers and crew are safe," the statement said. "There are minor damages reported to the airport's primary runway - 09/27. In order to ensure continuity of operations, the Secondary Runway 14/32 - has been activated. At CSMIA, safety always remains our highest priority," it added. It is unclear if this runway's closure would lead to delays. This incident comes at a time when the aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation is closely looking at safety protocols for passenger flights in the aftermath of the AI 171 crash in Ahmedabad last month that claimed over 250 lives. Mumbai has been witnessing heavy, continuous rain, leaving many areas waterlogged and disrupting transport services on Monday. The Mumbai airport issued an advisory earlier today, urging passengers to check their flight status and allow extra travel time to reach the airport. "In light of the inclement weather and forecast of heavy to very heavy rains, we request all our passengers to connect with their respective airlines and check on the status of their flights before leaving for the airport. Passengers are also advised to leave for the airport earlier than usual, in order to evade traffic congestion," it said.
