Flipkart Sends Toy Camera For DSLR Camera Ordered By Hyderabad Man 

Hyderabad: A cheating case was booked against e-commerce retailer Flipkart after one Vinay(24) had received a stone and two toy cameras after he placed an order for a DSLR camera.

Vinay, a resident of Nagole and works at a rice mill machinery manufacturing unit at IDA, Uppal, had placed an ordered Canon EOS 700 D worth Rs41,000 on Monday. The next day he received the parcel and was shell shocked to find stone and dummy cameras inside the delivered parcel.

Though he contacted the Flipkart’s Customer Care, he didn't get appropriate response as the company denied the allegations saying, "We pack products at Flipkart will be packed under tight security with surveillance cameras all over. The delivery company should be held responsible for this."

Restless Vinay then approached LB Nagar police station and lodged a compaint. Inspector P. Kasi Reddy registered a case under section 420 of the IPC and said a probe will be carried on.

This is not the first incident that happened on the same e-commerce giant. A Meerut based man received a stone instead of a smartphone in July. Similarly, a Mumbai man was duped after he received a soap bar and a washing powder instead of two mobile phones.
