Chennai: A Blinkit delivery agent refused to hand over rat poison to a crying woman after suspecting suicidal intent and convincing her to cancel the order an act that may have saved her life in Tamil Nadu.
Delivery Agent Senses Distress
In a now-viral video widely shared on social media, the Blinkit delivery agent recounted how he sensed something was wrong while speaking to the woman over the phone. He said he heard her crying and became concerned even before reaching her location.
Refused to Deliver Rat Poison
According to the delivery agent, he arrived to find the woman visibly distressed and refused to hand over the three packets of rat poison she had ordered. He questioned her intent and urged her not to take any extreme step.
“No matter what problem you have, please don’t commit suicide,” he said in the video. “I asked her, ‘Did you order this to commit suicide?’ She said no, but I told her not to lie. If it was really for rats, she could have ordered it earlier in the evening or even the next day. Why order it at midnight?”
