“I told them that ‘I don’t care about the order, your partner got assaulted, please help him,’ but they asked me to tell the rider to contact rider support. He tried that but they didn’t understand Kannada, and of course, he was scared to lose his job,” the social media post read.
Further, the Twitter user stated that he was left “perplexed”. “Why would a woman hit a DE for a sandwich?” he said. Dj added that the delivery agent told the woman it is someone else’s order and asked her for the receipt to tally it. “But she didn’t listen and started hitting him.”
Zomato has also reacted to the now-viral video. “We are getting this checked” and “will contact the delivery partner,” the company said on Twitter.
Meanwhile, since being shared, the video has received mixed reactions. One user wrote, “Such a shameless lady she should be aware that you are accepting another person’s order and this type of behaviour is unacceptable @zomato should file a complaint against this lady and support the delivery boy.”

Another said, “Disgraceful behaviour by the woman.” A third wrote, “These delivery guys work so hard irrespective of rain and all.. Its not at all acceptable to treat them like this! The customer service works well enough to sort out issues.. Violent behavior like this is not okay.. These kind of users must be blacklisted from the app!”
“I think there should be a system within the @zomato app to rate the customers by delivery boys whether men or women,” suggested fourth.
