Delivery Boy Harassed Over Non-Veg Order During Sawan: Viral Video Sparks Outrage Over Religious Interference

A viral video from Ghaziabad has ignited intense debate after members of a Hindu organization confronted a Blinkit delivery boy for delivering raw chicken during the holy month of Sawan—demanding a halt to non-veg sales, not just on Mondays but throughout the festival. The incident, captured and shared widely on social media, raises serious questions about religious freedom, individual rights, and the growing intrusion of vigilante groups into private lives.

The video shows Bajrang Dal activists stopping a Blinkit delivery boy, interrogating him about his religion, and questioning his participation in delivering meat to a Hindu customer during Sawan. The activists not only halted his work but also called up the customer (who turned out to be Christian), warning her not to order non-veg items. Disturbingly, they made derogatory comments about her faith, declaring Christians “worse than Muslims” and linking conversion to betrayal.

Their actions didn’t end with this confrontation—Bajrang Dal members stormed a Blinkit store, pressuring the manager to stop all non-veg deliveries for the remainder of Sawan. Reports suggest the store manager ultimately agreed to the demand, bowing to the pressure in hopes of preventing further disruptions.

The episode has sparked a fierce response online. Many have condemned the organization’s behavior, asking who gives anyone the right to police others’ diets or share customers’ private information. Social media users highlighted the absurdity: “Millions of youths are already struggling for jobs, and those working are being harassed in the name of faith. Should we need religious permission before earning a living?” Others pointed out the hypocrisy, noting that legal slaughterhouses run year-round without such protests.

Some demanded police action, calling the intimidation of workers and customers a criminal act: “How can a delivery platform share personal details with street vigilantes? Why are the police silent?” Others slammed such acts as bullying and demanded stern punishment.

Amidst all, a strong voice for personal freedom emerged: “Everyone has the right to follow their beliefs and choose what they eat. Who gave these groups the right to impose their will on others?”

This incident has underscored growing tensions around food, faith, and personal liberty in India. Does anyone have the right to dictate what others eat at home, even during festivals? Or should the law protect the rights of both workers and consumers?
