Nearly week after Bengaluru-based model-turned-make-up artiste complained that a Zomato delivery boy had attacked her, the accused filed a counter complaint against her on Monday, police said. In his complaint filed at the Electronic City Police Station here, Kamaraj accused Hitesha Chandrani of abusing and slapping him, falsely accusing him of assault, and defaming him.

Chandrani had shared a video clip on Instagram and Twitter, alleging that a Zomato delivery boy had hit her and run away after a heated argument with her. She claimed that a delay in delivery of food was the reason for their argument. Acting on her complaint, police acted against the food delivery boy and arrested him. After Chandrani`s video went viral, Zomato apologised to her for the incident and promised necessary action.
