Bengaluru: Over the past few years, Bengaluru has witnessed a worrying pattern of crimes involving quick commerce delivery agents. In an attempt to rein in the largely unorganised sector, the Bengaluru City Police is contemplating segregating and documenting incidents involving gig workers.

Bengaluru City Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh has ordered a station-wise review and compilation of registered cases involving delivery agents, with a focus on crimes against women.

The recent case of a Brazilian model being allegedly molested by a delivery agent at her apartment raised concerns over the safety risks involved while using quick commerce platforms. The accused, a 21-year-old diploma engineering student, was later arrested by RT Nagar police and remanded in judicial custody.
