Overview
- A Bengaluru woman recorded and posted a video of an encounter in which she says a delivery agent forced his way into her flat after she refused to let him use her washroom and then exposed himself.
- Bengaluru police registered FIR No. 345/2026 at Marathahalli under Sections 75, 79 and 329(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and arrested the accused, identified as 22‑year‑old Vijay Mallikarjun Kamat, who was remanded to judicial custody on Sunday, July 12.
- Flipkart said it terminated the delivery partner’s engagement immediately, called the incident unacceptable, and is cooperating with the police investigation.
- The woman says she feared for her safety, kept her phone camera rolling and left her door open to escape if needed, and police are using her recorded footage and statement as key evidence.
- The episode has reignited debate over safety for women at home and the adequacy of background checks and oversight for gig‑economy delivery workers, and investigators are collecting witness statements and other evidence as the probe continues.
