Desk Correspondent , Mumbai - A late-night mishap in Pune recently became a viral sensation after 19-year-old Mihir Gahukar and his friend found themselves trapped on a balcony at 3 AM. Having accidentally locked the sliding door behind them while visiting a new house, the duo faced a dilemma: their parents were sleeping soundly inside, and waking them would have led to a scolding for being out so late. In a moment of creative desperation, they decided to order through the quick-commerce app Blinkit, reasoning that a delivery agent would be the "fastest person" to reach them and provide a discreet rescue.
The plan unfolded like a scene from a comedy-thriller, as Gahukar's friend calmly guided the Blinkit executive over the phone, instructing him on how to use a spare key to unlock the main door and enter the house quietly. The viral video captures the tension breaking into laughter as the delivery agent—noted by viewers for his politeness in even removing his shoes before entering—reaches the balcony and frees the stranded pair. Gahukar shared that the agent arrived in just seven minutes, leading him to reflect on the "conflicting" reality that delivery services in India often arrive faster than emergency services.
Social media reactions to the incident, which has garnered over 4 million views, have been a mix of amusement and praise, with users jokingly calling Blinkit "the new 911" and the agent a "superhero without a cape." Blinkit itself joined the fun, commenting that such an occurrence "could only happen in Pune." For Gahukar, the experience was a testament to human kindness and quick thinking, proving that in modern urban life, sometimes the most unexpected solutions come from a simple app order at the strangest of hours.
