A Begusarai court in Bihar issued an arrest warrant against ecommerce giant Flipkart’s CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy over alleged contempt of court, as Krishnamurthy allegedly failed to appear in person after the Begusarai court had issued him summons over a case filed by an aggrieved Flipkart customer, alleging the ecommerce company of fraud and forgery.
The case started when a resident of Begusarai ordered a smartphone from Flipkart but did not receive it. After going through all channels for getting his refund, he decided to move court against Flipkart and its CEO Kalyan Krishnamurthy.
The customer then filed a case of cheating and forgery against the ecommerce company. The customer’s counsel sent a legal notice to Flipkart to refund his money. However, Flipkart said that it did not receive any payment from the customer and hence the complainant’s claim wasn’t valid.
However, the Judicial Magistrate of Begusarai court took cognisance of the case and issued a summons to the Flipkart CEO and asked him to be present in court. However, Krishnamurthy did not appear on the given date.While hearing the case, the magistrate took offence over Krishnamurthy’s absence and issued an arrest warrant.
