The photos and bill of the large food delivery quickly went viral on social media, with many calling it a show of solidarity with students protesting at the national capital.
Zha-Lhou wrote in his post, "I'm sitting here in Nagaland, while thousands of students are at Jantar Mantar, far away from home, fighting for what they believe is a better future and a fairer education system. I couldn't be there with them, so this was the least I could do."
He also revealed that when the Domino's delivery partner called to ask who should receive the order, he replied, "Please just give it to anyone who hasn't eaten."
He explained that he was not posting about the gesture to receive praise. Instead, he hoped it would encourage others to help in whatever way they could. Later, in his Instagram stories, he mentioned that he also ordered biscuits worth Rs 5,000 for the students.
