Zomato delivery boy assaults woman leaves her bleeding with a broken nose, check out the full story below:
Every other day we come across an incident of assault with women. God knows when this is going to stop. Recently, a woman reported one more such incident. Hitesha Chandranee, a Bengaluru-based content creator and make-up artist, has alleged that she was assaulted by a Zomato delivery executive on March 9 after an argument over a delayed food delivery order. The influencer can be seen crying with a bleeding nose. She said the delivery boy entered her house, snatched the order, and ran away.
In the video, Hitesh says that she placed an order at 3.30 pm on March 9, which was supposed to be delivered by 4.30 pm, but since she did not receive her order on time, she got in touch with Zomato’s customer support and asked them to either give it to her free of cost or cancel the order. When the delivery executive, whom she identified as Kamaraj, came to her door, she asked him to wait as she was speaking to a customer care representative, which is when he started to shout.
Hitesha says in the video. “I gave him a choice saying I do not need the order so you can take it, I am okay. But he refused to take the order back and he started screaming at me, saying ‘Am I a slave or what? You are asking me to wait here.’ So, it was really threatening for me and I tried to shut my door but he pushed the door, took my order from the table, that is he entered my home and punched me on my face so that I didn’t get back to him, and he ran away.”

As per the sources, the delivery executive has said that Hitesha hit him with a slipper to which he responded in self-defense, which resulted in her getting hurt due to a door. Zomato’s detailed reaction is expected after they speak to both parties.
Hitesha says the executive allegedly entered her home, and she picked up her sandal in self-defense, but he punched her. She adds that when the man realized that she was bleeding, he fled her home and exited the building.
In the meantime, responding to the video that Hitesha uploaded on her social media, Zomato’s official handle said that it will cooperate in the police investigation as well as the medical assistance that is required.
Hitesha added that a Zomato employee has reached out to her and said that further action will be taken.
Meanwhile, people are also reacting to this on the internet.
