The Story in Brief
A Meerut delivery boy was allegedly slapped, beaten and locked inside a flat for about three minutes after a dispute over taking a food order upstairs, Mathrubhumi reports. CCTV footage from Ganga Heights in the Bhawanpur police station area shows a young man confronting the delivery worker, appearing to slap him and taking his phone before leading him into a room. The worker is later seen leaving the room.
The delivery boy filed a police complaint after the incident. Meerut Police said a case has been registered under relevant sections and that further statutory proceedings are underway. The footage captures the confrontation, but the source does not report the customer’s account or any arrests.
The Indian Opinion
It is easy to turn this into a broad claim about unruly customers or unsafe delivery work, but the available account establishes one alleged confrontation, not a wider trend. The CCTV footage and the police case should guide the response, while the customer’s version also needs to be recorded before conclusions are drawn. The immediate test is whether investigators establish what happened inside the flat and whether the case leads to charges.
