 "Delivery agent, home delivery, online delivery partners, cash on delivery cod")
In the last week of September, Bharat Kumar, a 32-year-old Flipkart delivery agent, was allegedly strangled in the Chinhat area of Lucknow while delivering two smartphones worth nearly Rs 1,00,000 to a customer via cash-on-delivery (CoD). His body was later dumped in a canal. His disappearance triggered a police investigation, leading to the arrest of one accused and the surrender of another.
The killing has once again cast a spotlight on the dangers faced by delivery agents across India, particularly those dealing with CoD transactions. Following Kumar’s murder, delivery workers have raised urgent demands for better safety measures.
