In two separate incidents, delivery agents working with food delivery applications have been caught stealing cell phones of security guards while they dozed off during night shifts. While both the incidents have been caught on camera, questions are being raised on whether Swiggy and Zomato conduct proper background checks of the staff they hire and citizens let into their housing societies.
The incidents occurred at the Golden Rock society in Kalina and the Hill View society in Sector-8 at Charkop in Kandivali West. In both cases, the delivery boys parked their vehicles outside the society.
