The Delhi restaurant that barred the entry of differently abled person had been "insentive" towards the young man, a magisterial inquiry held into the matter has concluded, sources told NDTV.
The report recommends that the Delhi government give a stern warning to the restaurant and frame guidelines about sensitive behavior towards differently abled persons, they added.
Nipun Malhotra, who was born with arthrogryposis -- a rare congenital disorder which leads to contraction of the joints in arms and legs -- was turned away by Keya, an eatery at south Delhi's DLF Promenade Mall on the evening of March 6.
The restaurant had claimed that he had been barred since stag entries were not allowed on the occasion of Holi.
According to the findings of the inquiry, entry to Mr Malhotra was denied following a heated argument, sources told NDTV. It was also possible that the staff used force to stop him from going in.
The manager, he said, later "tried to flip the argument by saying they "do not allow stag entries". "I had to point it out to him that if you don't allow stag entries, then how do I have eight friends inside, of whom five were boys and three girls?" he had told NDTV.
The report recommends that the Delhi government consider framing guidelines to encourage staff at eateries, malls etc to follow when dealing with differently abled people.
