Actor Ronit Roy’s Twitter Outburst Sparks Controversy Over Road Safety and Responsibility

Renowned actor Ronit Roy ignited a heated debate on social media after sharing a concerning incident involving a Swiggy delivery rider. Taking to X, the former Twitter platform, Roy recounted a harrowing experience where he narrowly avoided a collision with a Swiggy rider on an electric moped who was recklessly driving on the wrong side of the road, endangering both himself and oncoming traffic. In his tweet directed at Swiggy, Roy questioned the company’s regard for the safety and well-being of its delivery partners, emphasizing the need for proper training and adherence to traffic regulations.

In response, Swiggy addressed Roy’s concerns, affirming their expectation for delivery partners to comply with all traffic laws and promising to investigate the matter further. However, some social media users challenged Roy’s criticism of Swiggy, arguing that the responsibility for safe driving ultimately falls on the individual rider rather than the company.

@Swiggy I almost killed one of your riders. They definitely need instructions on riding.Riding those small electric mopeds doesn’t mean that they ride on the wrong side of the road onto oncoming traffic. But then, Do you even care for their lives or is it just business as usual?
