"PLEASE HELP US PENALISE THE WOMAN..." - POPULAR B'WOOD ACTRESS COMES IN 'SUPPORT' OF ZOMATO DELIVERY EXEC; NETIZENS RESPOND TO ACTOR'S TWEET!

The video released on March 9 by Hitesha Chandrani, a make-up artist and social influencer from Bangalore, said that a Zomato employee who had come to deliver food had attacked her and injured her nose, causing her to bleed.

Zomato officials, who were contacted immediately after seeing the video released by the woman, spoke in support of the woman and suspended the employee. The delivery employee, Kamaraj, was arrested following a complaint lodged by Hitesha with the Karnataka Police.

Kamaraj told the inquest that he had not assaulted the woman, he had asked the woman to return the food since it can't be given away for free, which is when she is alleged to have called him a 'slave' and thrown her sandals at him, according to the delivery boy.

He also said that he did not punch her in the nose and that it was an injury caused by the ring that Hitesha was wearing. After hearing the delivery employee's side, many came out in support of Kamaraj, who has been put on suspension but his wages are being covered, as per a statement from Zomato, which is also extending help towards Hitesha to cover her medical expenses.
