When she took a bite she immediately realized the pizza contained meat. The Pizzeria management offered the whole family fresh pizzas free of cost, but Tyagi claimed that wasn't enough to make her up for the ‘permanent mental agony' caused.
As a result of mistakingly eating meat, Tyagi said she would have to endure ‘several long and expensive rituals' throughout her life. The lawsuit says they caused her to eat meat and that they have wounded her soul giving her mental agony for her whole life by ravaging her religious belief.
