ISKCON Devotees Take ‘Coolest Revenge' On KFC After Man's ‘Chicken Eating Stunt' In London
A controversy broke out after a video surfaced online showing a young man of African descent eating chicken inside Govinda's, a pure vegetarian restaurant run by ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) in London. The clip gained widespread attention online and drew strong reactions across social media.
The man is seen entering the restaurant and asking staff if non-veg food is available. After being told that only vegetarian meals are served, he pulls out a KFC chicken box and starts eating it inside the premises. He even offers the meat to staff and other diners. His actions visibly disturb people around him, and he is eventually escorted out by security.
In what many are calling an unexpected response, a new video has now appeared online. This time it shows two ISKCON saints standing outside a KFC outlet and chanting Hare Rama Hare Krishna. The moment, shared on X (formerly Twitter), is being dubbed the 'coolest revenge" by social media users.
The caption on the video reads: 'They come to our restaurants to harass us, & we come to uplift their consciousness."
'We forgive and sincerely pray for the perpetrators of this undignified act, who, due to ignorance, are probably unaware or simply don't care about the pain they are causing by making such childish videos," the statement added.
Meanwhile, according to a report by The Times of India, the police in London are currently investigating the matter.

Kharar's ‘foreign' clusters under NCB watch after drug bust
1 2 Chandigarh: A day after the UT police dismantled an international drug syndicate operating in the Tricity, arresting three foreign nationals staying illegally in the country — with two of them living in Kharar, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) Chandigarh Zonal Unit and Punjab Police jointly conducted a search operation in the Kharar area of Mohali district on Sunday to clamp down on drug trafficking and overstaying foreign nationals. Among the arrested individuals, Imoru Damian (31), a Nigerian national, and Toufe Yousouf (30) from Cape Town, South Africa stayed in a rented flat in Kharar. Police seized significant quantities of cocaine and amphetamine, along with a Honda City car used in the operation. The NCB-police joint operation specifically targeted rented accommodations near a private university and Gharuan village, areas flagged for developing into clusters of foreign nationals—mainly from African countries. During the drive, teams inspected around 20 flats and paying guest accommodations (PGs), checking the visa and passport details of foreign residents. Officials said the operation was a preventive measure to address concerns about "ghettoisation" and the potential misuse of rented premises by foreign nationals involved in illegal activities, particularly drug trade. "No foreign national was found residing without valid documentation during this operation," said an NCB official. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo "However, the exercise was crucial in reinforcing vigilance and disrupting the possibility of illegal hubs taking root in these areas." Property owners and PG operators were sensitised about their responsibility to verify tenant credentials and report any suspicious activity. Police urged landlords to remain alert and not turn a blind eye to potential law violations on their premises. Officials added that the operation was part of a broader strategy to prevent the formation of problematic enclaves, ensure compliance with immigration norms, and strengthen the fight against drug networks operating in the region. The NCB and Punjab Police emphasised that such joint actions would continue in a sustained manner, reinforcing their commitment to a "Drug-Free India" and safeguarding national security through proactive enforcement and community engagement. The trio arrested over the past few days operated in isolation, with handlers based abroad coordinating the network, cops claimed. The syndicate sourced drugs from Delhi and targeted youth in the Tricity, they added. Investigators also uncovered a disturbing link to a network of Nigerian students in Kharar, allegedly exploited for drug distribution.

Questions swell in Eswatini over five men deported from US
Representative Image In the small African kingdom of Eswatini, the arrival of five men deported from the United States under Washington's aggressive anti-immigrant measures has sparked a rare wave of public dissent. The five, nationals of Vietnam, Laos, Yemen, Cuba and Jamaica, were flown to Eswatini's administrative capital of Mbabane on July 16 on a US military plane and incarcerated after US authorities labelled them "criminal illegal aliens". The US Department of Homeland Security said the men were convicted of violent crimes "so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back". The government of Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, has confirmed their presence. But spokesman Thabile Mdluli said they would not stay permanently, and "will be repatriated in due course to their different countries". That assurance, though, has not quelled a tide of questions and concerns that has risen within the kingdom about the operation. Civic and rights groups are wondering whether further deportees from the United States will arrive, and what rights the five men detained have. Public outrage at the lack of transparency led to 150 women protesting outside the US embassy in Mbabane on Friday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo The protest, organised by the Eswatini Women's Movement, demanded the prisoners be returned to the United States and queried the legal basis Eswatini relied on to accept them. The five men are being held in the Matsapha Correctional Centre, 30 kilometres (20 miles) south of Mbabane. The facility, notorious for holding political prisoners and overcrowding, has been undergoing renovations and expansions since 2018, reportedly funded by the United States as part of a program covering all 14 of the country's penal centres. Solitary confinement Sources within the penitentiary administration said the men were being held in solitary confinement in a high-security section of the facility, with their requests to make phone calls being denied. The sources said the men have access to medical care and the same meals as the thousand other inmates, as well as a toilet, shower and television in their cells. Prime Minister Russell Dlamini has dismissed calls by lawmakers and from other quarters for the secrecy surrounding the agreement with Washington to be lifted. "Not every decision or agreement is supposed to be publicly shared," he said. Eswatini is the second African country to receive such deportees from the United States, after South Sudan earlier this month accepted eight individuals. The situation has sparked concerns about the potential implications for Eswatini, a country already grappling with its own challenges under the absolute monarchy of King Mswati III. The 57-year-old ruler has been criticised for his lavish lifestyle and has faced accusations of human rights violations. US President Donald Trump has used the threat of high tariffs against other countries, such as Colombia, to coerce them to take in people deported from America. Eswatini is currently facing a baseline US tariff of 10 percent -- less than the 30 percent levelled at neighbouring South Africa -- which the government has said will negatively impact the economy. Trump has directed federal agencies to work hard on his campaign promise to expel millions of undocumented migrants from the United States. His government has turned to so-called third-country deportations in cases where the home nations of some of those targeted for removal refuse to accept them. Rights experts have warned the US deportations risk breaking international law by sending people to nations where they face the risk of torture, abduction and other abuses.
