A case has been filed against Bangalore-based model Hitesha Chandranee, who had accused Zomato’s delivery man of attacking her over alleged delayed service. The woman has been charged with wrongful restraint, assault, intentional insult, and criminal intimidation based on a complaint by the delivery man, Kamaraj.

“An FIR was registered against Hitesha, the woman, who claimed to be attacked by a Zomato delivery man,” a police officer said, PTI reported. 

Kamaraj was arrested on March 10 after Hitesha posted a video on Instagram in which she accused the delivery man of attacking her.

“So guys, my Zomato order was late and I was talking to the customer care executive and meanwhile the delivery person just did this,” she said in the video. 

However, Kamaraj denied the allegations and accused the woman of hurling abuses and hitting him with slippers. 

Zomato assured the woman assistance on the medical care required and also said that it is extending all possible support to Kamaraj. 

“As per protocol, we have temporarily suspended Kamaraj from active deliveries, but are covering his earnings in the interim while there’s an active police investigation,” Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal said in a statement posted on Twitter.
