Bengaluru man orders iPhone 11 Pro via Flipkart, gets fake iPhone with a ‘sticker’
Bengaluru: Another incident of scary online shopping has taken place wherein a Bengaluru man ordered the latest Apple iPhone 11 Pro and got something else instead of the latest flagship.
Fake iPhone 11 Pro delivery
According to a report by IBTimes, a Bengaluru-based software engineer Rajani Kant Kushwah ordered an iPhone 11 Pro from Flipkart and even paid the Rs. 93,900 amount (after discount) in advance.
Instead of getting the iPhone 11 Pro, Kushwah received a ‘fake’ iPhone that had a sticker of the triple-camera module found on the iPhone 11 Pro. Upon removing the sticker, the iPhone appeared to be either the iPhone X or the iPhone XS. However, there was another surprise.
After digging into the phone’s settings, it was found out that the smartphone ran Android and was an iPhone clone with Android apps.
Following the revelation, Kushwah contacted Flipkart and was assured that his fake iPhone will be replaced by a genuine one.
Previous Flipkart incidents like these
Clearly, this isn’t the first blunder by Flipkart. We have heard of such cases (specifically fake iPhone news) in the past when an iPhone was ordered but it was never delivered. Instead, users either got soaps or bricks in place of the original product. Another similar incident took place previously when a Kannur-based man received a box of tiles instead of a camera.
As such incidents continue to take place, especially on Flipkart’s part, the e-commerce company should take more measures to end such cases and not lose user trust.

Hearing in defamation case against Rahul Gandhi postponed till March 27
Sultanpur (UP) (PTI): Hearing in the defamation case involving Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, which was scheduled to take place on Monday at the MP-MLA Court in Uttar Pradesh's Sultanpur district, could not take place due to the non-appearance of the plaintiff Vijay Mishra.
The court will now hear this matter on March 27.
Santosh Kumar Pandey, the advocate of the plaintiff, on Monday said that he had submitted a formal application to the court during the previous hearing.
This application requested that the audio and video recordings of the statements made by Rahul Gandhi, which have been presented as evidence, be matched with Rahul Gandhi's authentic voice.
Due to Vijay Mishra's absence, the court has scheduled the next hearing for March 27, when the arguments in the case will be presented.
On February 20, Gandhi, the MP from Raebareli, had appeared before the court and recorded his statement, claiming the case was filed against him due to political vendetta. He had also told the court that the audio and video evidence submitted by the complainant was incorrect and said he would present his own evidence.
The case stems from Gandhi's alleged objectionable remarks against then BJP president Amit Shah during the 2018 Karnataka election campaign.
Following the remarks, Mishra, a resident of Hanumanganj under Kotwali Dehat police station area in Sultanpur, filed the defamation complaint.
In December 2023, the court had issued a warrant against Gandhi after he failed to appear before it. He later surrendered before the court in February 2024 and was granted bail on two surety bonds of Rs 25,000 each.
