In another shocking incident of discrimination, an upscale restaurant in Delhi allegedly denied entry to unprivileged children.

Sonali Shetty, who had brought few street children along with her to the Shiv Sagar restaurant located in CP to celebrate her husband's birthday, has been protesting outside the restaurant after the owner of the eatery misbehaved with the kids.

"The owner discriminated with the kids and refused service citing that kids aren't well dressed and look dirty," said Shetty.

Earlier last year, a posh restaurant in an upscale mall in south Delhi had denied entry to a disability rights activist, Nipun Malhotra, allegedly saying that it doesn't "allow disabled people inside, as a policy".

The same restaurant Keya in DLF Promenade mall had also denied entry to a senior citizen couple in May last year.
