Zomato delivery personnel slapped over alleged misbehaviour, sets bike on fire

New Delhi, 25 October 2022: In Delhi’s famous Khan Market, a Zomato food delivery executive set fire to his two-wheeler and threw rocks at the police as they tried to detain him.

Police sources claim that 23-year-old Nadeem visited the market the day before to pick up food from one of the nearby restaurants. A couple walked by as he waited to get the food. However, the woman complained that he was staring at her and complained at the police station.

Though there was no formal complaint filed, one of the on-duty police officers slapped Nadeem. Infuriated by this, he returned the following day and set fire to his two-wheeler, according to sources.

After the fire began, police officers and fire trucks struck the area. Before they were put out, the two-wheeler’s fire had spread to an adjacent furniture store.

Then Nadeem flung stones at the police to avoid being caught. Videos taken on the scene showed the blazing bike and the man was shown in a different video after being detained. He was also heard screaming profanities as the police dragged him away.
