Two days after a South Korean national was sexually harassed in upscale Khar, another such shocking incident has come to light in which a woman was allegedly molested by a delivery person from Zepto at her residence.
As per the tweet by one Manjunath Hegde, whose profile says he’s an advocate, which was also retweeted by the victim, the delivery platform said that “it’s not a big issue and asked her to compromise”.
The tweet read, “Zepto sends 3 people to victim’s house asking her to compromise saying it’s not a big issue!!!!! Shocking. Wud they do d same if it was their daughter or sister? Police should make Zepto also a coaccused for not doing due diligence of their staff and for asking for a compromise (sic).”

The incident occurred at her Khar West residence on November 30, Wednesday.
The woman, narrated the ordeal on her Instagram page.

“I felt so horrible and I quickly ran into my kitchen to call my security through the kitchen window after the security came also the delivery guy is not listening he was coming onto me and finally my security stopped him and took his phone and gave it to me, I saw the video he recorded THIS IS NOT AT ALL OKAY WITH ME, “ she said in her Instagram post.

My security saved me yesterday imagine what if my security wasn’t there? I legit don’t even have safety at my home? How can I trust any online platform after this? @zeptonow is this how you guys provide customer service? Seriously? This incident happened at my doorstep in Khar west, Mumbai. @zeptonow I don’t know how many women are facing this issue because of your delivery guys like this. @zeptonow is responsible for all this, you sent such a kind of person to my doorstep hence I had to go through all this, There is no safety for women who placed an order from your platform.
