Blinkit delivery executive halts late-night rat poison order, flags safety concerns
The event occurred at midnight, when the delivery executive was issued an order containing three packets of rat poison. According to his account shared later in a video, the timing of the order immediately raised concern. On reaching the delivery address, he found that the woman who had placed the order visibly distressed and crying.
Believing the situation required caution, the delivery executive chose not to hand over the items and spoke to the woman and tried to understand what she was going through, telling her that no problem justified harming oneself. During the conversation, he directly asked whether the poison had been ordered with the intention of ending her life.
Although the woman initially denied it, he continued to communicate with her and persuaded her to rethink. The woman cancelled the order, following a brief talk. The delivery executive later said in the video that the decision gave him a sense of comfort since he believed he had been able to prevent a potential tragedy.
After the video surfaced on social media, users praised the delivery executive for acting with care and responsibility. “Humanity at its best,” one user wrote, while another commented, “That’s not just a delivery guy, that’s a guardian angel in a green jacket.”
