According to Balamurugan, he ordered chicken schezwan chopsuey from Chop N Stix through the Swiggy app on Sunday, He ate half of his food and noticed a used blood-stained bandage in his noodles. Balamurugan said he complained about the incident to the restaurant but didn't receive a positive response.
The Chennai man also alleged that the customer care service of the Swiggy app didn't respond to his complaint.
"Contacted restaurant and they aren't sensitive and offering a replacement for the food! Who again wants to eat such contaminated food! Tried to contact Swiggy, no option to call them directly through the app for already delivered food and the only option is to chat but they aren't responding either! (sic)" Balamurugan wrote. "Want to badly sue both restaurant and Swiggy too for partnering with a restaurant which doesn't practice general hygienic method (sic)," he added.
