Argument over entry route

The delivery worker had reached the mall to collect or deliver an order. According to the information available, he attempted to enter the mall premises through a route other than the designated entry path.

This reportedly angered Mahendra Singh, who was on security duty at the mall. What began as an argument soon escalated, with the guard allegedly abusing and pushing the delivery worker.

A video recorded during the incident shows the delivery worker being confronted by the security guard and two other guards. The group can be seen pushing the young man towards the road.

Delivery worker slapped and kicked

The video shows Mahendra Singh allegedly taking the delivery worker into the middle of the road before slapping him repeatedly. The assault caused the worker's helmet to fall onto the road.

The accused then allegedly pushed the man to the ground and kicked him hard in the stomach.

During the assault, the delivery worker could be heard pleading for help and repeatedly saying, "Bhai, mujhe bacha lo." He was also seen requesting the guard to stop and apologising.

People who were present at the spot intervened after seeing the assault. One person attempted to stop the guard, while others could be heard telling him not to hit the delivery worker.

Despite the intervention, the guard allegedly continued shouting at the worker and eventually ordered him to leave the area.

Police arrest accused

According to police, the delivery worker's side did not initially submit a written complaint following the incident. However, police received information about an intoxicated security guard allegedly assaulting a delivery worker at the mall.

Police reached the spot and tried to calm Mahendra Singh down. Officials said he became more aggressive, raising concerns about a possible breach of peace.

Police subsequently arrested him under Section 170 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) as a preventive measure, according to the information provided.

The assault video drew strong reactions online, with many users condemning the guard's alleged behaviour and calling for strict action. One commenter said the incident was 'not acceptable' and argued that the accused should be behind bars. Another questioned whether a former defence personnel could behave in such a manner, while a user said the incident damaged Uttarakhand's image.

Some comments also highlighted the delivery worker's repeated pleas for help and his attempt to apologise. However, one commenter alleged that some delivery workers engage in rash driving and misbehaviour, showing that reactions also included criticism of delivery workers' conduct.
