In a video shared on social media, Hitesha Chandranee (left) accused Kamaraj (right) of hitting her. Days after Hithesha Chandranee, a makeup artist and beauty influencer, accused a Zomato delivery agent of assaulting her, the man, identified as Kamraj, has filed a counter complaint with the Electronic City police in Bengaluru on Monday.
According to a senior police official, a case has been registered against Chandranee under sections 341 (wrongful restraint), 355 (assault or criminal force with intent to dishonour person, otherwise than on grave provocation), 504 (Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.
Chandranee, 31, is a resident of Electronic city Phase-1. Kamaraj, who stays in Chennakeshava Nagar area of the city, was working as a delivery boy for Zomato. On March 9, in a video posted on Instagram, Hitesha Chandranee claimed she was “hit” and “left bleeding” by Kamaraj, who “ran off” after the incident. “So guys, my Zomato order was late and I was talking to the customer care executive, and meanwhile, the delivery person just did this,” she had said.
