A video of Zomato agent eating customer’s food in broad daylight which went rife all over the internet. The video showed him eating food which was reportedly meant for delivery. Knowing this, Zomato took this case very seriously and responded to the video.
The delivery guy can be seen sitting on his scooter on the side of a road with his food delivery backpack. The video from the unknown location starts with him eating out of what appears like a parcel meant for food delivery.
The agent keeps the parcel box back in the package and then takes out another one. After tasting food from the second box, he closes it and then keeps it back inside. He is also seen adjusting the sealing of a smaller packet following which he decides to leave.
