A 29-year-old food delivery agent has been arrested for allegedly sexually harassing a 28-year-old woman in the Girgaum area of Mumbai on March 21st. The incident occurred when the woman opened her door to receive a food delivery order placed through a mobile application. According to the VP Road police, the accused, identified as Shahrukh Shaikh Mohammad Shaikh, dropped his pants and flashed the woman as she accepted the delivery. The distressed woman immediately informed her husband, who then confronted the delivery agent in the building's lobby while he waited for the lift.
