Serving curry could land you behind bars! Yes, as unbelievable as it may sound, this has happened. Thankfully it is not in India, but in the UK. So, this is what happened. Mohammed Zaman, the owner of an Indian restaurant in Easingwold, North Yorkshire, UK, was on Monday sentenced to six years imprisonment for causing the death of a customer Paul Wilson, who had bought takeout curry from his restaurant.

In January 2014, Wilson, who was allergic towards peanuts had ordered chicken tikka masala with “no nuts”, but the curry he was given had been cooked with a ground nut mix containing peanuts.

The curry caused Wilson to suffer a severe anaphylactic shock and die. Three weeks later another customer with a peanut allergy bought a meal from one of Zaman's six restaurants and had a reaction requiring hospital treatment.

The court, which found Bangladeshi born Zaman guilty of manslaughter, also noted that Zaman had used cheaper ingredient to cut corners, and acted in a "reckless and cavalier attitude to risk" and "put profit before safety" at all his outlets.

This is the first of its kind conviction in the UK.
