Grammy Award-winning musician and environmentalist Ricky Kej has claimed that a Zomato delivery executive allegedly trespassed into his Bengaluru residence and stole a sump cover. Kej shared the CCTV footage and details of the alleged theft on Instagram, tagging both Zomato and Bengaluru Police. He urged residents to remain vigilant about such incidents.
“I was robbed,” Kej wrote, explaining that the delivery agent reportedly entered his home around 6 pm and took the sump cover. According to the composer, the individual had returned about 15 minutes earlier to survey the premises before committing the theft.
CCTV footage captured the suspect from two angles and included images of the vehicle and a partial registration number, a red Honda Activa with the number KA03HY8751, as per Kej’s post. He appealed to both Zomato and law enforcement authorities for assistance in identifying the person involved.
“Quite bold of them. This is probably not their first time,” Kej warned, highlighting the potential risk to other residents.
