A businessman from Nerul was allegedly cheated after ordering a laptop of Rs 35,000 from Amazon and receiving a black glass weighing scale instead. Nerul Police have registered a case of cheating against an unidentified person and have begun an investigation into the incident.
The complainant, Pradeep Mehta, a resident of Sector 15, Nerul, had ordered the laptop through the Amazon app on April 29 and made full payment online. According to the case registered, the parcel was delivered to his residence on May 1 at around 8 p.m. While Mehta was in Pune at the time, his wife accepted the delivery by providing the required OTP to the delivery agent.
