JAIPUR: The Jhotwara police are investigating a case of 67 high-end phones worth Rs 83 lakh which were allegedly swapped with copies during transit between two centres of an e-commerce company.
The police said that the FIR was registered on Friday by an official of the company’s transportation and warehousing unit located in Jhotwara.
According to the FIR, the mobile phones were dispatched to the company’s loading station located in Achrol for deliveries. As soon as mobile phones reached the company’s Achrol facility, all orders were cancelled as part of a suspected conspiracy. The phones were then dispatched from Achrol station to the company’s Jhotwara unit, also known as a co-loading station. The staff conducted a routine inspection of the products after the delivery on August 14. They found mobile packages to be torn apart and tampered with.
The closer inspection revealed that all mobile phones had similar equipment identity numbers. This raised the suspicion that probably original phones were swapped with duplicate copies.
Station house officer, Jhotwara, Vikram Singh, said that an FIR was registered in the case and the police teams are investigating the case. The investigators have not ruled out the involvement of the delivery driver in the case.
