INDORE: On Wednesday, A 27-year old man was arrested for allegedly deceiving e-commerce giant Amazon to the tune of Rs. 30-lakh. While A sub-inspector of the cyber police said that the role of some suspected employees working in Amazon's local warehouse was also being investigated. State's cyber cell superintendent of police (SP) Jitendra Singh informed that the accused identified as Mohammed Mahuwala, was arrested on a complaint filed by Amazon.

Reports state that Mahuwala was a member of a gang, who made several accounts on Amazon using fake e-mail IDs and mobile numbers. Through these accounts, they used to order branded and costly mobile phones and other gadgets of big companies.

Mr Singh said that "The gang used to get refund of the amount paid in exchange for these gadgets from Amazon by saying that the parcel sent by the company was empty. But in reality, these devices were taken out from parcel and sold them to the local shopkeepers at a lower price," The SP said that the investigation so far has revealed that the gang has ordered 50 gadgets including the costly mobile phones costing around Rs. 30-lakh and fraudulently got the refund of the same amount.
