Zomato gave a befitting reply to a customer on Wednesday a customer who cancelled an order because the delivery boy who was assigned to his food delivery was a "non-Hindu". A Twitter user tweeted to Zomato saying that it has cancelled his order because a "non-Hindu" rider was allocated for the delivery of his food.

Just cancelled an order on @ZomatoIN they allocated a non hindu rider for my food they said they can't change rider and can't refund on cancellation I said you can't force me to take a delivery I don't want don't refund just cancel
