Man slaps, kicks, drags delivery agent in Meerut for arriving ‘5 minutes late’; arrested
The incident took place on Friday in the Ganga Sagar Colony area under the limits of Bhawanpur police station.
On Friday in Meerut, India, a man named Yaman allegedly assaulted a delivery agent named Amit after an argument over a five-minute delay in delivering an order. The incident occurred in the Ganga Sagar Colony area under the jurisdiction of the Bhawanpur police station. Amit was delivering an order to a residence when the argument broke out.
According to Amit, the order was delayed by around five minutes, but Yaman claimed he arrived 15 minutes late. CCTV footage shows Yaman taking Amit's mobile phone, slapping and kicking him, and then dragging him inside the apartment where the assault continued. Yaman is accused of threatening to implicate Amit in a molestation case involving his wife, threatening to kill him, and attempting to take his money.
The incident was widely shared on social media by fellow delivery agents who recognized Amit in the footage and reported it to the police. The delivery agents stopped working and demanded action against Yaman, threatening not to resume deliveries until he apologized in a public video. Amit filed a written complaint at the Bhawanpur police station on August 15, leading to the arrest of Yaman, son of Ravindra Kansal, who was apprehended on August 15 and will be produced in court as per procedure.
