Bangalore (Karnataka): Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal on Friday responded to the altercation that broke out between Bengaluru-based beauty influencer Hitesha Chandranee and one of the company’s delivery partners Kamaraj.
Deepinder Goyal has stated that the company has reached out to both of them and is covering Hitesha’s medical expenses and Kamaraj’s legal expenses as well. While Hitesha has alleged that the delivery partner assaulted her and told media that he punched her on the nose leading to a nasal bone fracture, Kamaraj told media that she hit him with her slippers and while he was trying to deflect her blows, she cut her nose with her own ring.

We are also in constant touch with Kamaraj, extending all possible support to make sure both sides of the story come to light and that due process is followed in the spirit of fairness,” he added.
