Mumbai Shocker: Man Arrested For Refusing To Accept Delivery From A Muslim

Mumbai: Ghanshyam Chaturvedi was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly refusing to accept grocery he had ordered online from Grofers after learning that the delivery boy is a Muslim.

On the basis of the delivery boy’s statement to the police, the 51-year-old resident of Mira Road was arrested. He was produced before the Thane sessions court and released on bail of Rs 15,000, informed senior police inspector of Kashimira police station, Sanjay Hazare.

The delivery person, had arrived at the gate of the apartment complex on Tuesday and informed the customer, as is the norm being followed during the nationwide lockdown to prevent spread of novel coronavirus. He was wearing the personal protective equipment like mask and gloves, but once they came to know his name, they returned the items.

“The delivery man was shocked about Chaturvedi’s behaviour and recorded the entire conversation on his cellphone,” Hazare said.

“I risked my life to deliver all the essential items. But the man’s behaviour was shocking and tragic, as he was focusing on my religion amid these hard times,” the delivery person told Kashimira Police authorities.
