Almost Got Molested While Doing a Delivery

I’m a Zepto delivery partner in Hyderabad, and I just had one of the scariest experiences of my life. I was delivering an order to an apartment in Meenakshi Estates (near High Tension Road) when the customer called me inside, pretending he wanted to show something. Once I stepped in, he tried to molest me. Thankfully, I managed to push him away and leave immediately. But what if it had been someone younger or more vulnerable? Worse, he had even offered me water before this—who knows what could’ve happened if I had drunk it? I reported this to the store RSI, but he didn’t even bother to listen and just brushed it off. This is exactly why delivery partners and workers feel unsafe in India—there’s no real accountability. I’m sharing this as a warning to all delivery partners and people in this area. If you ever get a delivery to Meenakshi Estates or anywhere similar, never go inside an apartment alone, no matter what excuse they give. Stay alert and trust your instincts. Stay safe, everyone
