The police are currently on the look-out for the delivery agent. Here are more details.
Delivery agent argued with woman over pick-up of returned items
The woman had filed a request with Amazon to return five small boxes, her complaint to the police stated. At 11:20 am on Monday, the delivery agent, who identified himself as Bhupendra Pal at the society's entry register, arrived at her place and argued that he could accept only four boxes. Following the argument, Pal left.
Woman complained about agent to customer care
Meanwhile, the woman complained to customer care. Her sister said, "She spoke to the customer care and complained about the delivery boy. They assured her that her return for all five boxes will be processed again on October 9 (Wednesday)."
Woman said Pal hypnotized her, lowered his pants
