Public Reactions And Similar Complaints
The clip generated a surge of responses on Reddit, as users recounted their own disturbing experiences at restaurants.

"Office Ke Bahar 10 Bande Le Aaunga ": Delhi Employer Shares Shocking Threat From New Employee
Hiring a new employee is often an exciting milestone for any business owner, marking growth and new possibilities. However, for a young entrepreneur in Delhi, what began as an optimistic step forward quickly spiralled into a nightmare. In a detailed post shared on Reddit, the man, who works at his father's furniture shop, recounted a harrowing experience with a newly hired employee that left him shaken. The employer said he hired the man through a job portal, but he failed to show up on the agreed-upon joining date, citing illness and delaying his start for 3-4 days. When he finally arrived, the employer wasn't present, and the employee called to say he had come only to talk. The next day, he worked briefly and requested Rs 500 for an ultrasound. "The guy didn't show up on the joining date and kept delaying for about 3-4 days, stating some health issues. He came 4 days after the joining date (when I wasn't available in the office due to some personal commitment), called me and said he only came to talk to me. He came the next day, did some work, asked for 500 rupees at EO,D stating he needed them for ultrasound, which is weird because: Who the hell asks his employer for such a favour?" he wrote on Reddit. See the post here: I got threatened by prospective job candidate by u/Prestigious_Cold9315 in IndianWorkplace The employee then didn't show up for three more days and then demanded an additional Rs 350 to meet his expected daily wage of Rs 850. When his demand was refused, he resorted to threats, claiming he would bring 10 people to the office. "He didn't come for 3 more days, and randomly called me today and said "Sir mai aapke saath kaam nahi kar paaunga, mera per day 850 banta hai, aap 350 aur dedo." I refused, in response to which he threatened me and said "Mai jaat hu, office ke bahar 10 bande le aaunga kal.", called me multiple times as well," he added. The incident has sparked discussions online about the challenges small business owners face, particularly when navigating hiring decisions without robust systems in place. Many on Reddit expressed sympathy, sharing similar stories and offering advice on how to vet employees more thoroughly. Some advised him to file a police report against the employee. One user wrote, ''File a police complaint. Let the police handle this. Get an employment contract in place in future if you don't." Another commented, "Did you not have him sign a contract of some kind? Where does it specify the terms of termination, minimum terms, notice period, leaves, etc? If not, you should in the future." A third said, "Have you rolled out an offer letter? If he has not turned up for a few days, he should be given a salary cut in the first place. If you give in, he might try such tantrums again, knowing you got scared. Also, hope you have CCTV around in office. You can launch a police complaint if you have the call recording, but only if you have a decent hold in the department." A fourth added, "You my friend ended up hiring a fraud. Anyway he will not do anything. Block him and do your work. Hire someone else and do a proper background check."

Office ke bahar 10 bande le aaunga: Delhi-based business owner shares horror hiring story and threat; Reddit post viral
Hiring your first employee is stressful enough. But for one Delhi-based man, it turned into a full-blown nightmare. The original poster (OP) u/Prestigious_Cold9315 took to the Delhi subreddit to post his chilling encounter with a job candidate hired through a popular job seeking/application portal. What followed was a no show, a money ask, and a threat. This led OP to seek answers and advice from Reddit users, many of whom offered their own pearls of wisdom. The incident took place at a small family-run furniture store in Delhi. The poster (OP) (setting out to hire an employee for the very first time) recruited someone to handle basic accounting tasks using resource management software, Tally. But what followed, he says, felt like something out of a scammy social media reel. The candidate didn't show up on the scheduled joining day, citing health issues. After a delay of about three or four days, he arrived at the store — on a day that the employer wasn't even present! What's more, he called only to say that he had come to talk. The next day, the man returned, worked briefly, and asked for ₹500, claiming he needed it for an ultrasound. OP gave him the money, only to then be ghosted for several more days. When contacted again, this employee demanded more money — ₹350 to be exact — claiming it as was the balance for his one day of work (going by an ₹850 dihadi). When refused? He threatened the employer, saying: 'Main Jaat hoon. Office ke bahar 10 bande le aaunga kal.' Safe to say OP took it as a wake up call, seeking advice to mend his hiring ways. Commenters on the post were quick to label the employee a 'fraud', warning against recruiting anyone without comprehensive background checks, vetting the CV, and following up on the reccomendations. 'You my friend ended up hiring a fraud. Anyway he will not do anything. Block him and do your work. Hire someone else and do a proper background check,' shared one user, ad another adviced, 'Keeps the call on record next time. File a complaint if he threatens again.' Another suggested a legal recourse: 'File a police complaint. Let the police handle this. Get an employment contract in place in future if you don't.' Some users also felt that taking a threat for sucha low amount should not be taken so seriously. 'Don't think so this person can do much if he's threatening for 350rs. Also, why was he asking for the money if he didn't show up for 3 more days?' commented a user. Another suggested reporting and flagging off the profile on the hiring portal, 'If you can, figure out how to report his profile to naukri. Send him a formal email saying he's been paid 500 for x number of hours (if he indeed did any work). Let him know his employment is terminated. Let him know, if he treathens you further, ki woh 35rs ke liye 10 bande layega toh wakai gazab hojayega. Formally likh dena that as he didn't work, he won't get paid. And him contacting you further will result in your filing a police complaint against him. Bus. Don't be scared. Barking dogs seldom bite and ig you have cameras? Let him know too. For your protection, you can let the police know if you're really scared.' The employer is now looking into how to report the incident and flag the profile on the job portal. Meanwhile, users continue to offer advice: conduct proper background checks, issue offer letters with clear terms, and — most importantly — never give money casually, even in emergencies. Whether this threat materialises or not, the post has hit a nerve with small business owners and first-time recruiters across social media — especially those navigating the complex hiring landscape without the cushion of a corporate HR team.

‘I Am A Jaat, I Will Bring 10 Men': Delhi Man Threatens Boss Over Rs 350 Dispute
Last Updated: The Reddit user shared a disturbing experience that happened while working at his father's furniture showroom in Delhi. If you are running a business, it is only natural that you will need to hire employees to help things run smoothly. But before bringing someone on board, it is important to do proper background checks. Skipping this step can lead to serious problems, something one Reddit user recently experienced. In a Reddit post titled 'I got threatened by a prospective job candidate," the user shared a disturbing experience that happened while working at his father's furniture showroom in Delhi. 'I work at my father's business in Delhi. It's a furniture showroom (not that big though)," he wrote. This was his first time hiring someone, so he decided to bring in an accountant through a popular job site. 'I hired an accountant from to do day-to-day work on Tally, such as recording sales, purchases, generating invoices, e-way bills, as well as preparing quotations, etc.," the user wrote. Things took a strange turn right from the start. According to the Redditor, the new hire didn't show up on the agreed-upon joining date and kept delaying for 3–4 days, citing health issues. When he finally turned up after four days late, the user wasn't in the office. 'He called me and said he only came to talk to me," the post explained. The next day, the man showed up, did some work and then made an unusual request. 'He asked for 500 rupees at EOD, stating he needed them for an ultrasound which is weird because—1. Who the hell asks their employer for such a favour? 2. He has called me multiple times in between saying 'Sir aap mujhe 500 Paytm kardo, mai kahi fass gaya hu, mai ghar jaake kar dunga (Sir, please send me Rs 500 on Paytm. I'm stuck somewhere, I'll return it once I reach home),' to which I refused every time." The Redditor finally gave in and handed over a 500-rupee note. But the man vanished the next day. 'He didn't come for 3 more days," the post read. Then, out of nowhere, he called and said, 'Sir mai aapke saath kaam nahi kar paaunga, mera per day 850 banta hai, aap 350 aur dedo (Sir, I won't be able to work with you. My daily wage comes to Rs 850, so please give me Rs 350 more)." When the Redditor refused, things took a threatening turn. 'He threatened me and said 'Mai jaat hu, office ke bahar 10 bande le aaunga kal (I'm a Jaat, I'll bring 10 men outside your office tomorrow)," called me multiple times as well," he wrote. This left Redditor shaken so he turned to the platform and asked for help and advice: 'What should I do in this situation? And how should I check someone's background before I hire someone so that I don't make this foolish mistake of hiring a guy like this?" In the comments section, many users urged the Redditor to take action and not let the matter slide. One user suggested, 'File a police complaint. Let the police handle this. Get an employment contract in place in future if you didn't." Another said, 'You my friend ended up hiring a fraud. Anyway, he will not do anything. Block him and do your work. Hire someone else and do a proper background check." 'Keeps the call on record next time. File a complaint if he threatens again," someone advised. While this Redditor's story is a lesson in why background checks matter, it is not the only hiring-related incident that made headlines. A few months ago, a Bengaluru-based company posted a job opening that got a lot of people talking. They were looking to hire a 'cracked full-stack engineer" to build 'real-time AI for every human." But what surprised everyone was the hiring process. Despite offering a hefty Rs 40 lakh annual salary, the company didn't ask for a resume, experience, or even a college degree. All they wanted was a short 100-word intro and a sample of your best work. First Published:
