The couple alleged that the manager also misbehaved with them while allowing entry to other people and restricting them. The person recording the clip stated that the restaurant, which was not allowing people with Indian attire, had no right to function, adding that it should be shut down immediately.
Soon after the video went viral on social media, Delhi cabinet minister Kapil Misra took notice and said that Chief Minister has been made aware of the scenario and she directed appropriate action.
"This is unacceptable in Delhi. A video has surfaced showing a ban on Indian attire at a restaurant in Pitampura. This is unacceptable. CM @gupta_rekhaji has taken serious note of the incident. Officials have been directed to investigate the incident and take immediate action," Mr Mishra wrote.
