Bengaluru Women Report Safety and Conduct Concerns with Delivery Agents
Two women in Bengaluru reported troubling experiences with delivery agents. One woman said an Uber Parcel delivery executive, appearing intoxicated, tried to enter her home and asked to charge his phone, raising safety concerns. Another woman alleged a BigBasket delivery agent demanded Rs 2,500, claiming his bike was seized by police, and used abusive language when refused. Both incidents highlight customer safety and trust issues with third-party delivery personnel, though some claims remain unverified.
