The video has since gone viral, triggering widespread concern about the risks delivery workers are often forced to take to meet strict timelines. Many social media users questioned the lack of clear safety protocols for train deliveries and criticised the unrealistic expectations placed on gig workers.Several viewers called the incident deeply unsettling, with one user pointing out that customers should be clearly instructed to collect their orders from the platform or train door to avoid such situations. Others expressed concern for the delivery partner’s well-being, while some demanded compensation for the injuries he may have suffered.However, Bijay Anand later posted another video, sharing an update on the incident. He claimed that he contacted the city’s MLA to check on the delivery partner’s condition.“I contacted the MLA of the city—he enquired and confirmed that the delivery partner is safe. Thanks to @daggupati_venkateswara_prasad Garu. I also spoke to the delivery partner myself. He has multiple injuries on his body, yet he was polite, calm, and sincere—no complaints, no anger. Just a man trying to do his job,” he wrote.
