A restaurant owner in Greater Noida was killed by the delivery agent of an online food platform allegedly over delay in getting an order ready. Sources told News18 that restaurant owner Sunil Agarwal was shot dead on Tuesday when he tried to intervene in a fight between the food delivery agent and his own staffer.
The delivery agent reportedly reached the restaurant on August 31 to collect the order but was told by a staffer that one of the items in the order were still being prepared and he will have to wait. Following this, an argument broke out between the two and the delivery agent allegedly verbally abused the restaurant worker.
When Agarwal, the restaurant owner, intervened and tried to stop the two from fighting, he was allegedly shot him in the head by the delivery agent with the help of three others.
The police are studying the CCTV cameras and have registered a case against the delivery man who is currently at large.
Meanwhile, police have reportedly nabbed three other accused, who were standing outside the restaurant and somehow got involved when the delivery agent was arguing with the restaurant worker. The three persons allegedly got involved in the fight and shot the restaurant.
The police said that the three appeared to be in an inebriated state during the incident. They were spotted earlier today during a police blockade when they tried to escape. However, the three were caught, and further interrogation is underway, the police claimed.
