        24M.
        So I had to send keys to my flatmate as I was at my friends flats. The swiggy genie guy came and I gave the package. He waited for 10 seconds and I was just standing there. He asked for OTP and I checked my phone and said no OTP is given. Then he again waited for like 5-10 seconds and says verbatim “can I suck your cock?”. I wish I was fucking kidding. I just said no because I was quite take aback. Then I told my friends at the flat and they said ki get the package from him he doesn’t seem safe. So I got the package from him back.

        Then I complaint in Swiggy and it was quite disappointing.
        The first thing they said was that the guy was from rapido as they’ve a partnership with rapido for genie. I said idgaf I booked on swiggy genie so he’s from Swiggy genie. And idk she they said sorry sir for your inconvenience I have booked another pickup for your package. I kindoff blasted her that wtf are you saying? That’s not what I fucking care about and make sure this guy is removed. Imagine if this person reached a girls house? FYI I’m big, but imagine if this was some women’s house?
        Then she said she has filed a complaint against the person and they’ll make sure he’s removed. But I’m not sure if that’ll actually happen.

        – What should I do next? I don’t think going for police complaint will do anything.
        – does making a post on linkedin or twitter affect anything?

          Technicalities, but this isn’t assault. Still an uncomfortable situation you were put into. What you can do is ensure they actually take some action by following up. And you’re right, just because they have a tie up with another company doesn’t matter, you booked through their app, so they’re responsible.

          As for a police complaint, it’s pointless. Especially since nothing actually happened. Twitter/ LinkedIn so people are cautious and if it gets enough attention, that’s another way the company might look into these incidents.

            I don’t think that qualifies as assault.

            He asked nicely, you said no, he went.

                You don’t randomly show up at someone’s doorstep and ask that question.

                    I agree. It’s harassment but not assault.

                        I think this is seβ‚ͺual harrasment and not assault , rest your anger is justified and other answer are good enough so no need dor me to repeat.

                        OP is not interested in that, that’s why he is asking for other solution

                            The solution is to get off your ass during the next lok sabha election and vote for a candidate who has expressed concern about the state of Indian laws, judiciary, and the police governance.

                            You are a man. he is a man.

                            He sexually pospositioned you. You refused

                            Since both of you are men there isn’t much yu can do legally in India.

                            If you were female then it’s a different issue. Remember laws in India re gender neutral.

                              I’m sorry you had to go through that OP. If you have the driver’s info tweet about it, it’ll create some awareness and prevent potential victims

                                  I don’t have anything regarding the delivery guy. Even on the app it’s not showing anything because I later cancelled the pickup.

                                  Unfortunately the apps take no action against them, especially if you don’t have concrete evidence.

                                  This is really unfortunate and worrisome. I’d say lodge an online complaint at the consumer court forum, cuz afaik, police will give 0 fucks.

                                  I wish I’d know how to help you, being someone who has friends who have experienced similar circumstances.

                                      Step 1: become a woman. (man-on-man rape is not a crime in India but unnatural sex is, so even if you’re raped both of you will go to jail)

                                          Gender change surgery? I think the Indian government even pays for it for free.

                                            Just checked this. It’s false. Men on men is still rape and that law has been gone for sometime now. It’s also taught in forensic medicine to MBBS students.

                                              This sub is so messed up.

                                              A few months back a woman ignored an Amazon guy’s calls and made him wait for almost 30 minutes outside. Eventually opened the door to recieve the delivery. And the annoyed delivery guy said “I don’t know what you are doing inside to not notice the calls” and left. For that comment she filled a sexual harrasment complaint and dragged him to the police station. And have him apologize and beaten up.

                                              And everyone on this sub and few others, championed her as a hero.

                                              But now a guy gets point blanked asked this crazy Effin question. And everyone on here is saying there’s no problem, just move on.

                                              WTH !!!!

                                                  I actually feel pretty de-sensitised dude. Some people are like if u reverse the delivery guys gender would u still say no? I’m like yes ofc I’ll say no and yes I’ll be the same amount of harassed. Why tf is this so hard to understand???? I genuinely earn good enough to leave this country and ngl I think I’ll someday because of shit like this. I didn’t fucking work my ass off to face this and have it underplayed by everyone.

                                                      Honestly, first of all am really sorry you went through this. And the laws are pretty messed up here and if people stated that as the issue. I would have totally understood. But the lack of empathy and mockery of the situation is just insane.

                                                      NAL, so really not qualified enough to give you any kind of legal advice. But I just hope you can get some kind of resolution/closure of the situation and feel better soon. Take care.

                                                        Bold of you to assume that other countries care about us males.

                                                        No one is saying there’s no problem and just to move on. Are you guys reading the same replies I’m reading?

                                                        People are saying that Feminists have made sexual harassment laws so one-sided that a man cannot even approach the police to file any charges. This is a legal sub, you are asking lawyers if you can do something legally. They are saying you can’t because there’s no protection in Indian law for men.

                                                        There needs to be legislation for this, its becoming a trend for every aggegator to shift blame when shit goes wrong but they won’t wait a moment when it comes to collecting inflated prices for services _they_ don’t render.

                                                            DCW and NCW will never let you legislate this issue because it puts men and women on the same level. They don’t want that.
