In a matter of less than five minutes, 24-year-old Rizwan Rajaballi Sheikh, a delivery boy working with Amazon, was robbed of his scooter, as well as two parcels that he happened to be delivering at the time, worth a total of Rs 22,000.

"I had three parcels to deliver on Wednesday morning, so I arranged them all area-wise on my scooter, which is a Honda Dio, and left home by 10.30 AM," said Sheikh, a resident of Khar Danda who has been working with Amazon for three months now.
