Renowned actor Ronit Roy, took to his official account on X to express his concerns regarding a recent encounter with a Swiggy delivery rider.
In a post shared with his followers, Roy recounted an alarming incident where he narrowly avoided a collision with one of Swiggy’s riders. He emphasised the importance of adhering to traffic regulations, particularly when navigating busy roads. Roy’s post read, “Swiggy, I almost killed one of your riders. They definitely need instructions on riding. Riding those small electric mopeds doesn’t mean that they ride on the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic. But then, Do you even care for their lives, or is it just business as usual?”
