“I ordered iPhone 15 from Flipkart on January 13 and I got it on January 15 but Flipkart has committed fraud they delivered a defective iPhone 15 and the box packaging was also fake. Now they are not replacing it,” Mr Rajawat wrote on X along with the order ID.

Earlier, a man faced the same situation when he purchased a chimney for his kitchen from Flipkart. When he unboxed the product, he was left shocked because the chimney he received was completely damaged and in pieces. He received the product on October 6, but the company didn’t offer him any replacement or refund for the same for 13 days.
