Assault
Video captures brutal assault
In the video, a man is seen dragging the delivery worker away from his vehicle and pushing him to the ground. He then punches and slaps the delivery agent repeatedly. Another man, presumably a passenger in the same car, joins in with a stick. The delivery agent appears defenseless as both men continue their assault until bystanders intervene to separate them.
Public reaction
Assault sparks debate on treatment of delivery workers
The incident has sparked a debate on the treatment of delivery workers in India. Social media users expressed their concern over how these workers are treated on Indian roads. One user wrote, "We are such a sad society now. Perhaps the worst in the whole world. Zero brotherhood." Another said, "Delivery boys, guards and peons are not respected these days and many people treat them poorly."
Strike
Gig workers' nationwide strike today
The assault incident comes at a time when gig workers have announced a nationwide strike today. The delivery workers' unions have called for an "App Bandh" to press their demands. The protests are mostly against the 10-minute delivery system, which workers say promotes unsafe working conditions. They also want regulation under labor laws, an end to arbitrary account deactivations, fair wage structures, and improved social security benefits.
