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.”

Mangaluru: Teacher booked for allegedly beating student in school
Vittla (Dakshina Kannada): A case has been registered at the Vittla Police Station against a school teacher on charges of seriously assaulting a student with a cane at an English-medium school in Idkidu village here near Vittla in Dakshina Kannada district.
According to the complaint, the student, who attends the school regularly, had gone to school as usual. Around 2 pm, the child’s parents received a call from the school office stating that their child had allegedly disturbed other students. The school informed them that when the teacher scolded the student over the issue, the child became frightened and urinated, and the parents were asked to come and take the child home.
The parents reportedly told the school staff that no one was at home at the time and requested that the child be sent home in an autorickshaw.
After returning home, the student told the parents that a teacher identified as Istikaar had beaten him severely on the hand with a cane. The child also said that he urinated out of fear while the assault was taking place.
When the parents contacted the teacher over the phone to question him about the incident, he allegedly responded in a dismissive manner.
Following this, the parents lodged complaints with the Vittla Police Station and the Child Development Project Office, seeking justice and strict action against the teacher for allegedly assaulting the child without any valid reason.
Police have registered a case against the teacher and have taken up further investigation.
