Tamil cinema lyricist Ko Sesha on Thursday declared that he had found pieces of meat inside a vegetarian dish he had ordered from a restaurant via Swiggy, and demanded an explanation from the food delivery app. Sesha said he ordered 'gobi manchurian with corn fried rice' from a restaurant on Wednesday and that he found meat inside the food. He also criticised Swiggy for offering compensation of ₹70 for 'offending my religious sentiments'. "Found pieces of chicken meat in the 'gobi manchurian with corn fried rice' that i ordered on @Swiggy from the @tbc_india. What's worse was Swiggy customer care offered me a compensation of Rs. 70 (!!!) for 'offending my religious sentiments'," he tweeted. Sesha said he is a strict vegetarian and demanded Swiggy offer an apology. "I've been a strict vegetarian all my life and it disgusts me to think how casually they tried to buy my values. I demand that a representative of Swiggy, no lesser than the State Head call me to personally to apologise. I also reserve my rights to a legal remedy," he said.
