The three men got out of the car and started attacking the delivery agent. The attackers are seen punching and kicking the rider in the video, with the victim alleging that they appeared to be drunk at the time of the incident.
Following the attack, the injured delivery agent lodged a complaint at the Basaveshwaranagar police station. Police officials have confirmed that a case has been registered and investigations are underway to identify and trace the attackers.
