A 34-year-old man was arrested in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, on Saturday after allegedly assaulting a delivery executive. The incident reportedly stemmed from a dispute regarding a delay in the delivery of an order. Local police confirmed the arrest following the altercation, which highlights ongoing tensions in delivery services amid increasing demand.
The incident took place on Friday in the Ganga Sagar Colony area under the limits of Bhawanpur police station. CCTV footage of the incident has since circulated widely on social media. Amit further alleged that Yaman threatened to implicate him in a molestation case involving his wife. Amit also alleged that Yaman threatened to kill him, took away his mobile phone and attempted to take his money. The delivery agents then approached Bhawanpur police station and submitted a complaint against Yaman. They also went to the housing society, but alleged that Yaman had already left the premises.
However, the customer, identified as Yaman, allegedly accused him of arriving 15 minutes late. On August 15, Amit submitted a written complaint at Bhawanpur police station, following which police registered a case against Yaman. Police subsequently arrested Yaman, 34, son of late Ravindra Kansal and a resident of Ganga Heights in Ganga Sagar Colony.
Amit told police that the order had been delayed by around five minutes. He said he asked Yaman to call the police if he had committed any wrongdoing, but no police call was made. Bhawanpur police station house officer Joginder Singh said the accused had been arrested and would be produced before the court as per procedure.
