In a disturbing incident in Delhi, a woman accused a Blinkit delivery partner of touching her inappropriately while delivering her order on October 3, 2025, at around 5:30 PM. The woman shared CCTV footage of the incident on social media, urging the company to take strict action against the delivery partner.
The video, shared on X, shows the delivery partner accepting cash from the woman with his right hand while holding the package in his left. At that moment, his right hand allegedly touches her chest area, prompting her to step back. She captioned her post: “This is what happened with me today while ordering from Blinkit. The delivery guy asked for my address again and then touched me inappropriately. This is NOT acceptable. Blinkit please take strict action. #Harassment #Safety Blinkit…is women safety a joke in India?”In a follow-up post, the woman added, “He tried to touch me inappropriately, I tried to cover my chest with the parcel so that he won’t touch my chest again! Take strict actions.”
Public Reaction OnlineThe footage sparked widespread reactions on social media. Many users expressed support for the woman and demanded strict action. One comment read, “Yes, it can be clearly seen he deliberately brought his hand close to your upper body. Take it up strongly.” Another said, “It’s definitely not a mistake. Hope Blinkit takes action.”
However, some viewers suggested the contact may have been accidental. A user wrote, “It may have been a mistake as I think he thought the parcel was in his right hand… It happens sometimes.” Another added, “I don’t think it was deliberate.”
Blinkit’s Response
Following the viral footage, Blinkit terminated the delivery partner’s contract and blocked him from the platform. The company has not yet released a formal public statement but confirmed that it takes customer safety seriously.
Experts say the incident highlights the importance of strict monitoring and vetting of delivery personnel in India’s rapidly growing e-commerce sector.
Ensuring Women’s Safety in Online Deliveries
Incidents like these underline the need for robust safety protocols, including GPS tracking, CCTV verification, and a grievance redressal system. Women customers are encouraged to report suspicious behavior immediately and use official complaint channels provided by companies like Blinkit.
Consumer advocacy groups emphasize that online delivery companies must train personnel on professional conduct and respond swiftly to harassment allegations. A timely response and public accountability can enhance customer trust and safety standards.
