FAKE hp LAPTOP BATTERIES, ADAPTERS BEING SHIPPED THROUGH AMAZON & FLIPKART, SEIZED

HUGE FESTIVE DISCOUNTS OR FAKE PRODUCTS?

Mumbai: Amidst the huge online festive discount season, D B Marg police station has raided two establishments and seized fake batteries, adapters, and counterfeit stickers of HP that were being shipped for sale on leading ecommerce platforms including Amazon and Flipkart. The raid was

conducted after an anti-piracy agency - Enforcers of Intellectual Property Rights (EIPR) researched and informed the local police about the scam. Taking prompt action against the seller, D B Marg Police Station raided Computer Services Venture at 11/13, Patel Mansion in Topiwala Lane, Opposite D B Marg Police Station, Lamington Road and seized the fake products that were branded as HP products. The seller is an authorized dealer of Amazon and Flipkart and has been blatantly selling these fake products to customers through these platforms.

Police have arrested two people from the establishments and FIR is being lodged against the accused at D B Marg Police station.

“With online shopping sites offering stupefying discounts as part of festive sales offers, consumers are spoilt for choice and are coerced into not missing the sale. However also it is during these sales that incidences of incorrect goods being received or products not working properly or in some cases, specifically products like batteries exploding during use are becoming common. An incidence that took place earlier today may offer an explanation to this,” says Gulfaraz Makani, Director, EIPR.

MUMBAI WARMS UP TO PRE SEASON ALPHONSOS

Greencart.in Introduces Its Range of Branded, Naturally Ripened, 100% Carbide Free Alphonsos

Mumbai: With the city beginning to warm up to the king of fruits following a relative drop in prices, Greencart.in has launched its own range of branded Alphonso mangoes. Available in six different varieties, the mangoes are graded, packaged and come with one hundred percent naturally ripened and carbide free guarantee.

“Mangoes of a particular variety that grow in the coastal belt of Konkan and certain areas of South Gujarat are called Alphonso Mangoes. The soil, the climate, the proximity to the sea, the wind and the temperature that the crop are exposed to are some of the key factors that determine their texture, aroma, color and flavor. Alphonso mangoes from Devgad are said to be the best followed by those from the neighboring Ratnagiri,” says Rajiv Tevtiya, co founder and CEO.

The Greencart mangoes, currently available at www.greencart.in, comprise six varieties of Alphonsos sourced from select orchards of Devgad and Ratnagiri. Greencart’s in-depth expertise in Agribusiness help them source topnotch quality from the select farms.  “Our mangoes differ from those available at local vendors.

They are hand graded for standardization and naturally ripened at Government approved ripening chambers. Natural ripening is a long and intensive process that incurs substantial costs. So most vendors resort to ripening the mangoes artificially by using a banned toxic powder called Calcium Carbide, which are known to cause severe health damages. Our mangoes come with a carbide free guarantee,” he adds.

Alphonso mangoes available at this time of year are pre-season mangoes, which are mild in taste and aroma. They are more flavor some and less sweeter than their full season counterparts that are expected to hit the market by mid-April.
