In a lengthy account of the night, the woman said that she had made reservation at the Aquila restaurant for her birthday with her parents. The family had to reach there between 5 pm to 6 pm but they ended up being late. When they reached the restaurant, the staffer allegedly "looked up and down" at the woman's parents. The woman said that she and her parents can wait for sometime until they get a table. She was then taken to "a corner" and was told that they will not be allowed to have dinner because her mother was wearing a saree.
