**Zepto Delivery Rider Arrested for Assaulting Customer Over Address Dispute in Bengaluru**
**Bengaluru, India** – A Zepto delivery executive has been arrested following an alleged assault on a customer in Bengaluru’s Basaveshwaranagar neighborhood on Wednesday. The incident, sparked by a disagreement over a delivery address, left the 30-year-old customer with serious injuries, including a swollen eye and suspected skull fracture.
According to reports, Vishnuvardhan, the Zepto delivery rider, was assigned to deliver groceries to the residence of Shashank S. When Shashank’s sister-in-law went to receive the order, an argument reportedly erupted over the address.
CCTV footage of the incident shows a heated discussion between Shashank, his sister-in-law, and the delivery executive outside the customer’s home. The footage then shows the delivery rider allegedly punching Shashank and verbally abusing him. Two women intervened to pull the customer away.
“He suddenly got enraged and attacked the customer,” a police source confirmed.
Following the incident, Shashank was photographed with a severely swollen eye and has reportedly been diagnosed with a skull fracture.
Zepto issued a statement to *The Times of India*, expressing regret for the incident. “We regret any inconvenience caused. Professional conduct is essential to us, we’ll make sure this is addressed,” the statement read.
Police have registered a case against Vishnuvardhan under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for voluntarily causing hurt, criminal intimidation, and other relevant sections. The investigation is ongoing.
