Delivery Executive Assaulted At Pizza Outlet
Duo from Delhi held for chain snatching
Hyderabad: A delivery executive was reportedly assaulted by staff of a multinational pizza outlet in Nacharam on Sunday, after an argument over a low rating received on a food delivery platform. The incident was captured on CCTV.
According to reports, the executive had gone to the unit to pick up an order when staff confronted him, claiming his rating had affected the outlet’s online image. The argument escalated, and one staff member allegedly stepped outside and physically assaulted him.
Police said the matter was part of a personal rivalry and not a serious assault. The complaint initially lodged by the victim was later settled before the police. ENDS
