NDTV
Delhi's Aquila restaurant said Anita Choudaary who went public with her allegation had assaulted a staff member as seen on CCTV video and another staffer incorrectly made the dress code comment to "tackle" the situation.
A video that shows a Delhi restaurant apparently refused entry to a woman wearing a saree contending the attire did not conform to their dress code is a massive misrepresentation of events that transpired, the eatery has said, posting its side of the story following an outcry on social media.
Outrage over a 16-second clip posted on Facebook on Monday was quick to spread after it showed a staffer at Delhi's Aquila restaurant telling the person filming: "Ma'am we allow only smart casual and saree is not counted as smart casual."
Sharing the video on Facebook, a woman called Anita Choudaary alleged that she was not allowed to enter the restaurant at Delhi's Ansal Plaza on Sunday, because she was wearing a saree. Off camera on the video, she is heard saying in an agitated manner, "Show me that saree is not allowed."
