A Swiggy delivery agent allegedly shot dead the owner of a restaurant in Greater Noida over delay in getting an order ready.

According to reports, the Swiggy agent late on Tuesday, August 31, reached the restaurant to collect an order of chicken biryani and poori sabzi.

While the biryani was ready on time, the delivery agent was told by a worker that the other order would take a little more time. This led to an argument between the restaurant staff and the agent. The delivery agent allegedly abused the restaurant employee.

The owner of the restaurant, Sunil Agarwal,  tried to calm the situation when the delivery agent allegedly shot him in the head allegedly with the help of his friend.

The restaurant employee and other staff members rushed him to the hospital where he was declared brought dead.

Rakesh Nagar, who lives near the restaurant was quoted saying, “I was informed by the restaurant staff that the owner was shot. When I reached, he was still breathing. I first dialed 100 and then for an ambulance. But later, we took him to hospital in our vehicle,”

The police have registered a case and are studying CCTV footage from the area to track down the delivery agent.
