A video of the Zomato delivery man, whose name is not mentioned, being questioned by the Hindutva workers has emerged online and is quickly becoming viral.
In the video, the
delivery man is asked to remove the dress. “Are you wearing this because of Christmas?” the Zomato delivery person is asked to which the latter replies in affirmative.
“Why don’t you wear Lord Ram’s dress or saffron clothes while making the delivery during Hindu festivals?” they ask, adding, “Do you go to deliver to people of other religions wearing saffron clothes or Lord Ram’s costume on Hindu festivals?”
