Butter chicken is not just a dish it’s an emotion. However, how far would you go for this heavenly treat? Recently, a man in Australia traveled almost 32km to get the ‘perfect’ butter chicken. According to News18, the man drove all the way from Werribee, which is 30km southwest of Melbourne’s CBD, to visit his favorite restaurant to satiate his cravings.
But he violated lockdown restrictions while doing so. Several restrictions have been imposed on public gatherings in Australia’s Victoria province due to a surge in new cases. Authorities have asked the public to practice caution and stay at home. The man was supposedly caught while on his way and was fined $1652 (Approx Rs.1,24,000), reports Times Now.
Many people wondered what was so special about this particular ‘butter chicken’:

However, he was not the only one. As many as 74 people were caught violating the rules. Some of the other reasons included catching up with friends over food and alcohol. That’s one costly and really risky curry. Don’t you think so? Tell us!
