"Delivery Agent Sparks Fear: Woman in Delhi Shares Terrifying Interaction Online"
A disturbing incident involving a Blinkit delivery executive has raised concerns about safety among the company's users, particularly in the capital city of Delhi. The incident, which took place on July 4, 2025, was detailed in a firsthand account shared on Reddit and subsequently went viral, sparking a wave of discussion about potential dangers, especially for women living alone.
According to the account, the woman, who ordered ice cream from Blinkit, asked the delivery executive to leave the order on the floor and watched him leave. However, the executive was observed roaming around the floor after seeing the woman's sister. This behaviour was described as "erratic" and "disturbing," with the woman noting the delivery executive's eyes as "possessed" and her sister describing them as bloodshot and wide.
Social media users speculated that the Blinkit delivery executive might have been under the influence of alcohol or drugs. One user suggested not handing or receiving orders late at night due to potential danger, while another recommended having a dedicated drop zone for parcels instead of door-to-door delivery to prevent security issues. Another user suggested asking delivery executives to leave parcels in the lift and not come up to the apartment.
The woman's sister felt scared and called the woman when she encountered the delivery executive. To make the delivery executive think they were not alone, the woman called out for her father. The delivery executive did not respond when the woman's sister called him.
Despite the widespread attention and concern, there is no indication in the available recent news coverage that Blinkit has officially addressed or responded to the incident. Blinkit’s official stance or follow-up on the matter does not appear in these reports, suggesting that as of now, the company has not publicly addressed the situation.
If you are looking for official feedback or measures taken by Blinkit, monitoring Blinkit's official communication channels or news updates may be necessary for future developments. One user also suggested explicitly mentioning to leave the order at the gate if ordering after 11 PM. The woman locked the door after the delivery executive left.
This incident serves as a reminder for users to prioritise their safety and be vigilant during deliveries, especially at night. It is hoped that Blinkit will take appropriate action to ensure the safety and wellbeing of its users.
