A Bulandshahr man who ordered an Apple iPhone 14 Pro worth Rs 1,43,335 from Flipkart ended up finding a green Chinese phone with a fake Apple logo and only two cameras inside the box, instead of the three-camera iPhone he had paid for. The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Bulandshahr, has now directed Flipkart to refund the full amount with interest, along with compensation, taking his total payout to roughly Rs 1.7 lakh.
The order was placed by Omprakash Singh, a resident of Anupshahr in Bulandshahr, who bought the Deep Purple iPhone 14 Pro on 29 May 2023 using a special discount and paid for it in full through his credit card. The delivery arrived at an address in R.K. Puram, New Delhi, where the unboxing was recorded on video using the delivery agent's own phone and shared with Singh over WhatsApp.
