Swiggy delivery agent caught on camera stealing shoes outside apartment; company responds
PTC News Desk: A Swiggy Instamart delivery agent has stirred controversy after a viral video captured him allegedly stealing shoes from outside an apartment. The footage, widely circulated online, depicts the delivery person delivering a grocery package to the doorstep before taking a pair of shoes left outside the residence.
Originally shared on X, the CCTV footage shows the delivery agent arriving at the door with the package, awaiting the customer's response. While waiting, he glances down and notices three pairs of footwear placed outside the flat. Moments later, the customer retrieves the package, and the agent appears to leave.
However, he then pauses, glances back at the shoes, removes a cloth from his head, and wipes his face. Subsequently, he descends a few steps before retracing his steps to the shoes, discreetly picking up one pair, concealing it with the cloth, and departing the scene.Swiggy's drop and PICK up service.

It is your friend’s fault. Corridors and common area isn’t a property of flat owner plus these areas should be always clutter free from Security and any medical urgencies point of view. If ppl can’t resist to make a mess in corridors then they should lock the stuff . — Nirka (@Nirka01) April 11, 2024
