Delivery and Discovery
On the 11th, a delivery boy brought the parcel to his clinic. Since the clinic was closed, he accepted the parcel and went home without opening it. The next day, he called a computer professional to install the laptop. However, upon unboxing, he was shocked to find a marble stone inside instead of the laptop.
Attempt to Resolve the Issue
The doctor immediately contacted the local office of the online company for assistance. Unfortunately, he did not receive any help from them.
Police Complaint and Investigation
With no other option, he lodged a complaint at the Town Police Station later that night. Acting on his complaint, the police have registered a case and started an investigation into the matter.
