Karnataka: Man orders phone online, gets potatoes, soap, stones delivered in mobile box
Chikkamagaluru: A resident of Sringeri, who ordered a mobile phone online, was delivered a box of potatoes, stones and soap on Sunday.
Hyder Ali had ordered a Redmi mobile phone on the online marketing company Amazon four days ago. On Sunday, the agents delivered the box apparently containing the mobile phone at Ali's house in Sringeri.
Ali fortunately opened the box in front of the agent. Much to his horror, the box was filled with soap, stones and potatoes instead of the mobile phone. He sent away the agent without paying the money, and also filed a complaint with the Sringeri police.
Speaking to the correspondent, Ali said, “I have heard of deceptive activities by the Amazon company while delivering goods to its customers. I therefore decided to open the box just as the delivery agent handed me the box and confirmed the fraud.”
Further, he said, “When a company as big as Amazon itself can indulge in cheating its customers, we can only think with horror of what smaller companies might do. In such fear, I also complained to the police about the deception.”

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
