However, the next day both Atul and Naveen had reported to Flipkart that the package delivered contained paper and rubber and not the product they ordered, following which the company refunded the entire amount.
Being all ears to the complaint, Flipkart then filed a complaint against the missing phones. The police swiftly traced the phone which was in use in Hyderabad.
