Fake Customers Steal 332 Phones Worth Rs 1.6 Crore From Flipkart In Kerala
Imagine a big online store called Flipkart that sends out packages.
Some people who worked at the places where the packages are sorted, called delivery hubs, were suspected of stealing.
They used fake names and fake addresses to order lots of expensive phones, like iPhones and Samsung phones, from the store.
Then, when the phones arrived at their own hubs, they made them disappear instead of delivering them.
In total, they took 332 phones, and they were worth more than 16 million rupees!
The company noticed that so many phones were missing and told the police.
Now, the police are investigating to find out exactly what happened and catch the people responsible.
Flipkart reported a major fraud involving the theft of 332 mobile phones worth Rs 1.61 crore from its delivery hubs in Ernakulam, Kerala.
The accused, who managed four specific delivery hubs, allegedly ordered the phones using fake addresses and different mobile numbers.
The stolen phones included models from Apple, Samsung Galaxy, Vivo, and iQOO, ordered between August 8 and October 10, 2025.
