After fighting hard to tackle its cash burn worries, Zomato seems to have found itself in the wrong side of headlines. One of its delivery executives was accused of stealing a pet in Pune. A Pune couple filed a police complaint after their pet beagle went missing. The incident which wasn't reported much on soon became news after Bibek Debroy posted a limerick on Twitter.
Be wary of the delivery boy,
The food may be just a ploy.

He ran away with their beagle hound.
Was all this done just to annoy?

A delivery boy from Pune City
Considered it a real pity
That his life lacked a pet
So he didn't stop and fret
And made off with a dog in his kitty.

A divorce and family lawyer had put up a tweet when the pet went missing, asking PETA for help. She even put up the delivery boy's number on Twitter.
