While most people look forward to their birthdays, a happy day turned tragic for a Punjab family when a 10-year-old girl reportedly died after eating her birthday cake ordered online in Patiala. The incident came to light after a case was registered by the family. Now, online food delivery platform Zomato said it has delisted the restaurant from its platform as well as debarred its owner.
