A British-African man was seen intentionally provoking the staff and customers of a restaurant operated by ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) in London.
In a viral video, the man confirms with the staff of ISKCON's Govinda restaurant that the eatery serves only vegetarian food and then takes a bag of fried chicken and eats it.
He even goes a step further and offers meat to others customers and staff members.
Staff immediately alerted security, and the man was escorted outside, but not before several patrons confronted him for violating sacred space and allegedly mocking religious values. Few customers even reminded him that he was violating UK hate-crime laws.
The incident which took place on Sunday was widely condemned online, while some called it Hinduphobia, others dubbed it as a shameless act.
Indian rapper Badshah added fuel to the fire, posting on X: “Even the chicken would be embarrassed,” which many interpreted as a sharp rebuke of the act .
The man was identified by netizens as a Youtuber going by the handle 'Cenzo' with over 6k subscribers. He also made controversial content like cooking egg during the middle of a lecture in a classroom.
However, at the time of filing this report no official statement was issued by ISKCON London or the Metropolitan Police.
