In the complaint, it was alleged that a delivery boy on October 1, came to his house in Kidwai Nagar to deliver the mobile phone which he had ordered from Amazon. Instead of the delivery, the complainant was told that the order had been cancelled by Amazon and he would receive the refund soon.


"A raid was conducted and the delivery boy identified as Manoj, a resident of Jawahar camp, Kirti Nagar, New Delhi, aged 22 years was arrested and the mobile phone was recovered from one Dharamvir to whom the mobile phone was sold by the accused Manoj.
