After he consumed beef that had been erroneously labelled as a lamb by a supermarket, he is demanding that the store pay for his trip to India for ‘cleansing’
New Delhi: An Indian-origin man in New Zealand is hogging the limelight for a very peculiar reason. After he consumed beef that had been erroneously labelled as a lamb by a supermarket, he is demanding that the store pays for his trip to India for ‘cleansing.’ Jaswinder Paul bought meat labelled lamb roast from a Countdown outlet in Blenheim in September last year. However, after consuming it, he realised that it was not lamb but beef. The cow is considered sacred by Hindus in India.
After the incident, Paul approached the supermarket, upon which the authorities at Countdown admitted their mistake, apologised and offered US$200 as compensation, a New Zealand-based website stuff.co.nz reported.
