BHABHUA------------------------A case of fraud has come to light in the goods ordered from Flipkart. The child had ordered a drone worth Rs 2,564 from Flipkart, but instead of the drone, a half-litre water bottle was found in the parcel.

A shocking case of fraud has come to light in a parcel ordered from online shopping company Flipkart in Kaimur district of Bihar. 11-year-old Arpan Triguna, a resident of Kudra in the district, had ordered a drone worth Rs 2,500 for his birthday, but instead of the drone, a half-litre water bottle and pieces of waste paper were found in the parcel.

Actually, Arpan Triguna had ordered a drone worth Rs 2,564 from Flipkart for his birthday (21 August). When the drone arrived for the first time, it was not working, so he returned it and ordered another one. Two days later, when the second parcel of cash on delivery arrived, Arpan and his family asked the delivery boy to open the packet in front of him.

When the packet was opened, everyone was shocked to see it. Instead of the drone, it was filled with a water bottle and some waste paper. The delivery boy himself was stunned to see this. He immediately called his senior and informed him about the incident. The delivery boy said that he only delivers the packet and he does not know what is inside.

This incident has shocked Arpan and his family as well as others that how can such fraud happen in the delivery of a big and trusted company like Flipkart. Arpan said, "If we had made the online payment, we would have suffered a huge loss. We were lucky that we had opted for cash on delivery."

People say that if such big companies are doing such fraud, then trust in online shopping will be lost. After this incident, the delivery boy got the order cancelled and no money was taken from Arpan's family. The delivery boy also informed the company about this matter, so that such incidents can be stopped.
