Female Lawyer Molested By Delivery Agent
In a separate case reported from Andheri West, a 30-year-old woman lawyer was allegedly molested by a Flipkart delivery agent after a dispute over payment. The incident took place on May 8 at around 7:50 pm when the woman received a parcel on behalf of her brother, who had ordered two bottles of perfume online. Since her brother was not home, she informed the delivery agent, identified as Altaf Mirza, that the payment would be made via PhonePe. Altaf accepted this and exchanged contact information with the family.
Accused Allegedly Touched Victim & Verbally Abused Her
However, later that evening around 8:58 pm, Altaf returned to the residence claiming the payment hadn’t gone through and demanded the return of the parcel. The woman complied and returned both packages. It was at this point that the delivery agent allegedly molested her by inappropriately touching her on the chest and verbally abusing her before fleeing. The woman was traumatised and immediately locked the door and later informed her brother about the incident.
The victim filed a written complaint on May 9 at the Amboli Police Station. After follow-up by police officials, she submitted a formal legal complaint on May 15, seeking stern action against the accused. The Amboli Police have registered a case and are actively investigating the matter.
