A pizza delivery worker was looted by a crowd near Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Friday, with a video of the incident reaching the Delhi Police.
The incident took place at Tolstoy Chowk, a short distance from Jantar Mantar, where a crowd surrounded a pizza delivery worker and snatched away as many pizza boxes as they could before fleeing.
Delhi Police said it has received the video of the incident. However, no written complaint has been filed in connection with the looting so far.
Police said the video is from Friday and clarified that online food delivery services continue to operate in the New Delhi area.
The clarification comes amid restrictions imposed under Section 163 in New Delhi. Delhi Police said it has regulated food delivery services in the area and has not imposed any ban. Online food delivery services remain operational.
However, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday criticised the Delhi Police's decision to regulate food delivery and app-based services around Jantar Mantar amid the ongoing Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest, dubbing the move "foodbandi" and comparing it to demonetisation.
Reacting to the restrictions, Yadav took to X and wrote, "Roti mat chhino! (Notebandi ke baad Foodbandi)," accusing the authorities of depriving people of access to food while attempting to maintain law and order in the national capital.
