Actor Ronit Roy criticised online food delivery platform Swiggy, saying he almost accidentally killed one of their riders due to his reckless driving. He raised concerns about
Swiggy’s fast-serving business model, which was resulting in not following traffic rules.
Tagging Swiggy, Ronit Roy wrote on X, “I almost killed one of your riders. They need instructions on riding. Riding those small electric mopeds doesn’t mean that they ride on the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic. But then, do you even care for their lives or is it just business as usual?”
Several users also pointed out their experiences with such incidents. One of the X users commented, “Nothing new for
Swiggy. Delivery guys take their normal bike also with no entry... these are mopeds…”
Another said, “I was gonna tweet the same to Swiggy sometime back. I also see Swiggy delivery partners breaking the traffic rule a lot here in Bengaluru. Few delivery partners even have been beaten up because they crashed their 2-wheeler into someone else's.”
Responding to the actor’s X post, the food ordering and delivering platform Swiggy wrote, “Hey Ronit, we expect our delivery partner to follow all traffic rules and have noted this to be looked into, do share any details if available for the necessary action to be taken.”
Ronit Roy is a known name in the television and film industry for his work in the past three decades. From playing a crucial role in the popular TV series
Kasautii Zindagii Kay to films like
Udaan,
Two States, and
Liger, Ronit Roy has earned quite a name for himself.
