Pawan Jayakara Kotiyan of Tenkanidiyur in Udupi has filed a case in the Malpe Police Statioin against an online company named Pathanjali alleging that it has cheated him to the tune of lakhs of rupees.
Pawan from Udupi on June 20, 2017 had applied to be a distributor of Pathanjali products on Pathanjaliayurvedic.com.

Following the call, Pawan deposited Rs 75,000 to the Pathanjali account on July 6, through Punjab National Bank. The company had even sent the documentation of the payment through e-mail, reported One India.
Pawan had even deposited money from his mother's account. But instead of getting the products all he got was calls demanding more money from the company.
After a while, Pawan grew suspecious and he made a call to the executuive of the Pathanjali Ayurvedic Limited. The answer literally shocked him. According to the executive, someone had created a website which was lookalike of the original website.
