The incident prompted Monicaa to swiftly file a complaint with Blinkit's grievance officer, who assured her that her address would remain confidential.

Despite this, the same delivery executive returned around 10 pm, holding a packet. Monicaa mentioned that he persistently rang the doorbell, but she refrained from opening the door due to concerns for her security.
