Delhi: Horrific! 'Swiggy' delivery boy dies after falling in pit, gets electrocuted

In a road mishap in Delhi’s Mayur Vihar, an online food delivery boy died of electrocution after falling in an open pit, while he was on his way for delivery.

The deceased first fell into a pit in Mayur Vihar Phase 1, and later became victim of electric current in a nearby pole.

The deceased man was identified as Rahul and he worked as a delivery boy in Noida’s food delivery company Swiggy.

It is being said that due to waterlogging in a pit, Rahul’s bike got disbalanced and he came under the effect of current from a nearby pole.
