Zomato has been making the headlines since last week and the case has seen several twists and turns. It all started with a Bengaluru-based model-turned-make-up artist Hitesha Chandrani accusing a Zomato delivery executive of punching her over a dispute with the bill of the order. Now, the same customer has an FIR in her name in Bengaluru s Electronic City Police Station.
According to ANI report, an FIR was filed against Chandranee under Section 355 (assault), 504 (insult) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of IPC on Zomato delivery executive Kamaraj s complaint. The FIR was not lodged by Zomato, which had agreed to fight the legal battle on Kamaraj s behalf and cover all expenses. Rather it was filed by a Kannada organisation that has come forward to help the delivery boy.
