Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh police have sent a notice to the man who cancelled his order after the food-delivery app Zomato assigned him a non-Hindu delivery executive.
On Tuesday night, Amit Shukla tweeted that he cancelled his order on Zomato as the designated rider was a “non-Hindu”. The customer’s tweet regarding the issue and Zomato’s response took the nation by storm and has been the centre of a debate over religious intolerance, bigotry and discrimination.
In the notice, the police warned the man of jail time if he continues to tweet anything divisive in the next six months.
Speaking to NDTV, Jabalpur district police superintendent Amit Singh said, “If in the next six months, he again makes any such tweets or commits any such act which is against basic tenets of the constitution or worthy of disturbing public peace or communal amity, then he will automatically be sent to jail.”
The superintendent also informed that the man, identified as Amit Shukla, has also been put under surveillance as he had violated the constitutional provisions which doesn’t allow any kind of untouchability and acts disturbing religious harmony.
