Bengaluru: In a concerning incident in Bengaluru, a Swiggy delivery executive found himself in legal trouble after a woman accused him of inappropriate behavior during a food delivery. The complaint, filed by Aarushi Mittal, detailed the distressing encounter that unfolded on March 17, leading to the arrest of the accused.
According to the First Information Report (FIR), the delivery executive, identified as Akash, arrived at Aarushi Mittal's residence around 6:30 pm to deliver a food order. However, the situation took a troubling turn when Akash allegedly requested to use the bathroom and later asked for drinking water. Subsequently, while Aarushi was in the kitchen fetching water, Akash purportedly hugged her from behind and attempted to hold her hand, prompting a startled reaction from the woman.
In response to Akash's advances, Aarushi raised her voice and slapped him, causing the delivery executive to flee the scene in haste. The gravity of the situation led to the filing of a case under Section 354A (sexual harassment) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The incident underscores the importance of vigilance and safety measures, particularly in interactions involving service providers and customers. It serves as a reminder of the need for strict adherence to professional conduct and respect for personal boundaries in all spheres of employment.

Such incidents highlight the significance of promoting a culture of zero tolerance towards harassment and fostering a safe environment for all individuals.
As investigations into the matter continue, it is imperative to prioritize the well-being and security of individuals, reaffirming the principles of dignity and respect in all interactions within society.
