Following the incident, Johri Farm RWA issued an advisory for the residents.
“This has time and again been advised so also ensure not to allow delivery guys access to your doorstep specially for flats and please make effort to collect it from your ground floor entrance. “As this is very common and we have numerous unverified delivery agents visiting the colony. Also be sensitive and inform local police station. Some beggars are found positioned in permanent locations also they can track your daily movements so first of all every resident should not allow them and not to pay them as well,” said the message.
