Days after a man was fined in Australia after he defied all restrictions to eat his favourite butter chicken, a restaurant has launched an online campaign to find him to offer some free meals.

According to a SkyNews report, the man drove over 30 km to pick the special dish cooked at a particular restaurant and was fined $1652 (Rs. 1,23,809) for breaching the rules.

While the craving surely left the man with a dent in his pocket, netizens are quite intrigued by the bizarre incident, with many wondering what was so special in the dish.
