The assault, which was caught on video and widely circulated online, has raised serious concerns over the safety of delivery personnel operating in India’s IT capital.

Authorities have registered a case and launched a manhunt to trace the accused based on video footage and eyewitness accounts. Police officials assured that stringent action would be taken against the culprits, while Swiggy has reportedly reached out to the injured employee to extend support.
