A Zomato delivery executive was allegedly assaulted by staff members at a Pizza Hut outlet in Hyderabad following a dispute over a customer rating. The incident, which occurred on Sunday, was captured on the restaurant’s CCTV cameras and has since come under police investigation.

According to the complaint filed by the delivery executive, the altercation began when he arrived at the outlet to pick up an order. Restaurant staff allegedly confronted him, claiming that a recent low customer rating had negatively impacted the outlet’s online reputation and holding him responsible for it.
