Ordering expensive mobile phones through an e-commerce website, replacing them with dummies and returning them for refunds have landed a gym trainer and delivery boy in trouble. The Aarey police arrested the duo on Wednesday after the website authorities filed a complaint on Tuesday night. When the website noticed that the return requests were repeatedly coming from the same customer, they got suspicious. For the next order placed by the trainer, they sent a different delivery boy. When he realised that it was not the usual guy in connivance with whom he was cheating the website, he did not turn up to accept the delivery. However, the cops managed to trap them.

The accused have been identified as Lucky Singh Rathod, 22, gym trainer and resident of Royal Palms in Aarey Colony; and delivery boy Kishor Kole, 25, who is a Malad East resident. Both of them were booked under relevant sections of the IPC and arrested. After being produced in court they were remanded in judicial custody. Investigation revealed that Lucky in connivance with Kole duped the website of three iPhones and a branded speaker worth Rs 1.25 lakh.
