I almost killed a Swiggy delivery boy who was riding on the wrong side of the road, says actor Ronit Roy

Actor Ronit Roy recently took to X to call out a Swiggy delivery partner for breaking traffic rules.

He wrote, "Swiggy... I almost killed one of your riders. They definitely need instructions on riding. Riding those small electric mopeds doesn’t mean they can ride on the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic."

He added, "But then, do you even care about their lives, or is it just business as usual?"

I was gonna tweet the same to Swiggy sometime back. I also see Swiggy delivery partners breaking the traffic rule a lot here in Bengaluru. Few delivery partners even have been beaten up because they crashed their 2-wheeler into someone else's.
