The video has attracted a lot of attention online. Opinions seem divided in the comments. While some were concerned about possible food tampering, others felt there could be more to the story and that we should not jump to conclusions. Read some of the reactions below:
“The seller must seal the food completely and ensure that it is not tampered with…”
“It could be his own food; they are very nice and polite. I always get sealed food. Sorry to say, we should not judge anyone.”
“He may have kept his food separately in his bag. Don’t make a snap judgment without confirming.”
“It could be his own food, and he kept it safe. Don’t make decisions without knowing.”
“What’s wrong with that, maybe this guy bought his food from a store to eat while working.”
“Maybe he kept some snacks for himself in the bag.. Be a human being… Aren’t delivery people hungry???”
“Normally Zomato delivers with multiple tapes. If it is tampered with, it can be easily identified.”
