From doorstep to disturbing: Grammy winner Ricky Kej suspects food delivery man of theft

| @indiablooms | Dec 13, 2025, at 06:51 pm

Grammy award-winning music composer Ricky Kej on Saturday expressed suspicion that an online food delivery platform's deliveryman may have entered his home and stolen a sump cover.

In his X post, Kej wrote: "I was robbed! Dear @zomato @zomatocare , looks like one of your drivers entered my home on Thursday and stole our sump-cover. This was at 6 o'clock in the evening.. Quite bold of them! This is probably not their first time. They came in just 15 min earlier for a recce, and then trespassed and committed the crime. You can see the CCTV footage from 2 angles."

"Also screenshots of his face, and the number plate. The number appears to be KA03HY8751? on a red Honda Activa. Possible for you or the @BlrCityPolice to provide assistance, as to who this person is? Also, people, be vigilant. This can happen to you too!" he said.

He also shared CCTV footage of the incident from several angles on his X handle.

Meanwhile, online food delivery platform Zomato reacted to his X post and said it will investigate the incident.

The platform said in the comment section: " Hi Ricky, this is really concerning, and we certainly don't encourage such behaviour from our delivery partners. We'll investigate this immediately so that necessary action can be taken, and we'd request you to kindly share your mobile number with us via DM so we can connect with you further."
