The Story in Brief
A delivery agent was allegedly assaulted at Ganga Heights apartment in Meerut after arriving with an order a few minutes late, Siasat.com reports. CCTV footage circulating online shows a man scolding, slapping and kicking the agent before taking him inside the flat. The incident reportedly occurred around 9.30 pm on August 14 in the Bhawanuan police station area.
A later video shows the agent saying the order was delayed by about five minutes, while the customer claimed it was 15 minutes late. Siasat.com could not independently verify the videos. A Meerut Police officer reportedly said a case had been registered against the couple and that they would be arrested soon. The couple was reported to be absconding.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy narrative that delivery workers must absorb abuse for missing a promised time is indefensible. But viral footage alone cannot establish every detail, including the reported assault inside the flat or the threat of a false case. The police investigation should secure the CCTV, record the agent’s statement and establish the exact delay. The concrete test is whether the registered case leads to arrests and a documented account of what happened inside the apartment.
