Mumbai Delivery Rider Caught Urinating and Drinking in Society Lift, Police Complaint FiledPreviousNext

In Mumbai's Akshay Co-operative Housing Society, a food delivery rider was caught on CCTV urinating inside a lift and drinking from his hand. The incident was discovered after residents noticed a foul smell and reviewed footage. The society shared the video on social media, contacted the delivery platform, and filed a police complaint. While the delivery service reportedly removed the rider, residents seek greater accountability. The delivery platform has not officially responded to the incident.
