E‑commerce platform ordered to pay Rs 70,000 after TV mis‑delivery to CBI officer

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has ordered an online retail platform to pay a sum of Rs 70,000 to one of its officers after a television set was mistakenly delivered to an incorrect address. The payment is being treated as a settlement for the procedural lapse that led to the mis‑delivery. Sources familiar with the matter said the CBI officer filed a complaint after discovering that the TV, intended for a different customer, was sent to his residence. The e‑commerce firm has accepted the directive and will remit the amount as per the agency's instructions. The case highlights concerns over delivery verification processes employed by online sellers in India.
