The BigBasket store manager Ravindra Pal said Deepak started working for him since December 2022. “This is a very unfortunate incident. He was working as a delivery boy with the firm through a third party company. He was a punctual and dedicated employee.

He also said that Deepak was getting around Rs 35 for a successful delivery. “A delivery boy does not have a fixed salary, they earn according to the number of deliveries they make a day,” added Pal.
