Amazon Delivery Scam Busted in Surat; Three Held for Swapping Branded Kurtis with Fakes

Surat: The Sachin police in Surat have arrested three people for allegedly stealing branded kurtis from Amazon delivery parcels, replacing them with counterfeit garments and selling the original products at the Vesu Wednesday market. The alleged parcel-swapping scam came to light after the theft of garments meant for delivery to customers.

According to the police, the accused allegedly removed genuine branded kurtis from parcels while they were in transit and replaced them with duplicate garments before the packages reached customers. The stolen original kurtis were then allegedly sold at the Wednesday market in Vesu.

The arrested accused have been identified as Naresh Bhaviskar, a courier delivery worker, Ravi Jashwal and Kavya. The Sachin police registered a case in connection with the alleged fraud and took the three into custody.

During the investigation, police reportedly found that a couple involved in the scheme had purchased kurtis worth around ₹4 lakh. Investigators are probing the couple’s alleged role and whether the purchases were linked to the parcel-swapping operation.

The police are also investigating how long the alleged racket had been operating, how many parcels were tampered with and whether other people were involved in the scam. DeshGujarat
