Police Bust Gang Cheating Flipkart Vendors

Earlier on Thursday, under the special anti-cyber fraud initiative "Operation Cy Hawk" of the South-East District, Delhi Police, the team of PP Okhla Industrial Area achieved a major breakthrough by busting an organised gang involved in cheating Flipkart vendors through manipulation of online delivery systems.

During the operation, four accused, including three insiders and one receiver of stolen property, were arrested. Artificial jewellery worth approximately Rs 6.5 lakh was also recovered.

The case pertains to a complaint received from Wercatalist Pvt. Ltd., a logistics partner engaged in the collection and delivery of Flipkart consignments. During an internal audit conducted at its warehouse located at Y-36, Sanjay Colony, Okhla Phase-II, multiple instances of high-value jewellery consignments being received in tampered or empty condition were detected.

Acting swiftly on the complaint, an FIR was registered at PS Okhla Industrial Area, and an intensive investigation was launched. During the course of the investigation, it was revealed that the accused Arpit Kashyap and Akash Rathore, employed as pickup staff, in conspiracy with tempo driver Mohit Kumar, exploited their access to vendor portals and parcel movement systems. The accused generated and manipulated high-value jewellery pickup orders, collected genuine consignments from vendors, and, before depositing them at the warehouse, cancelled the orders, opened the parcels, removed valuable jewellery items, and repacked the boxes.
