On February 9, a delivery executive, identified as Vijay from Shadowfax Surface Logistics, allegedly contacted him to confirm delivery. As he was at work, the parcel was delivered to his residence, and ₹699 was collected in cash.
However, upon returning home and opening the package later that evening, he reportedly found old clothes inside instead of the razor blade he had ordered.
When he contacted the delivery agent, the executive allegedly stated that he was not responsible for the contents of the parcel and advised him to approach the company concerned.
