A late-night Zomato order in Gurugram took an unexpected turn when a customer stepped out to find out why his food had not arrived, only to allegedly discover the delivery rider selling his order to two men for Rs 100. Rishabh Kaushik said he had ordered food from Khadak Singh Da Dhaba through Zomato at 10.58 pm on Sunday, but the meal never reached him even though the app showed the delivery partner nearby.
Rishabh said he checked the Zomato order tracker after noticing the delay and found that the rider’s location had remained at the same spot for around 40 minutes. Instead of continuing to wait, he went outside to check what was happening. His updated post on X claimed that the rider had sold the food to two men for Rs 100.

Zomato tracker raises questions after rider allegedly stays put for 40 minutes
Rishabh clicked pictures of the two men and the food packets, which appeared to have already been partly eaten. He later shared the images on X along with screenshots of the Zomato tracker, showing the rider’s location and the order still moving through the delivery process even though he had not received his meal.
Taking a swipe at Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal, Rishabh wrote: “The delivery partner’s icon has been standing at the same spot for 40 minutes. @deepigoyal, this isn’t food delivery anymore. It’s a full-fledged food-sharing economy.”
