Flipkart sacks delivery agent after Bengaluru woman alleges obscene act

Police identified the accused as Vijay Mallikarjun Kamat.

Flipkart said it terminated the employee and was cooperating with the investigation.

In a statement, Flipkart said it removed the delivery agent from service immediately after the incident was reported. “We are deeply disturbed by this incident and extend our full support to the customer. Customer safety is non-negotiable. The individual involved has been terminated with immediate effect, and we are fully cooperating with the police investigation,” the company said.

According to the complaint, the delivery agent had arrived at the woman’s apartment to deliver an online order. After handing over the parcel, he asked to use the washroom, claiming it was an emergency. The woman, who was alone at home, declined the request and advised him to seek help from neighbours instead.

Police said the accused ignored her repeated refusals, removed his footwear and entered the apartment without her consent. After using the washroom, he allegedly exposed himself before leaving the premises.
