What was the whole matter
In his complaint, Ravi alleged that on March 27, a delivery executive named Lalit was given a parcel containing 10 iPhones and Airpods to be delivered to a customer. Instead of delivering the parcel, Lalit replaced the iPhone with a duplicate and, claiming that the customer could not be contacted, asked his brother Manoj to return them to the company. After receiving the parcel back, the delivery company suspected some tampering with the packaging. When he opened the package for investigation, he was shocked. Because, there were fake phones inside.
