CCTV Footage Shows Shameless Delivery Executive Urinating In Lift
According to footage retrieved from the lift's surveillance system, the delivery agent is seen entering the elevator holding a parcel in his left hand. In a deliberate attempt to evade detection, he turns his back to the camera and unzips his pants before urinating in the corner of the lift. The act appeared calculated, as he seemed aware of the camera’s presence and tried to shield his actions.
The incident reportedly took place on Friday afternoon last week and came to light later in the day when residents noticed an unpleasant smell and unhygienic conditions inside the lift. Suspecting foul play, the building’s residents reviewed the CCTV footage, which clearly showed a man in a Blinkit-branded jacket committing the act.
Residents Reached Blinkit Office, Confronted Delivery Guy & Handed Him To Cops
Outraged by the discovery, several residents approached the nearby Blinkit office to identify and confront the delivery agent. During the confrontation, the accused was allegedly manhandled by some residents before being handed over to the police.
Complaint Filed At Bolinj Police Station
A formal complaint has since been filed at the Bolinj Police Station in Virar West. Police officials have confirmed the receipt of the complaint and stated that an investigation is underway. Blinkit has not yet released an official statement on the incident. However, the platform is expected to initiate internal action against the individual involved.
