A man in Kerala’s Wayanad district has claimed that he was delivered a valid passport by an e-commerce company along with a passport cover he had ordered.

Midhun Babu, from Kaniyambetta in Wayanad, said he ordered the passport cover on October 30. When it was delivered on November 1, the packet contained the passport cover with a passport inside it belonging to a teenager from Thrissur.

Babu said he reported the incident to Amazon. “I spent about 40 minutes speaking with three customer care executives. But none told me what to do. Later, on the advice of a friend, I approached the police and surrendered the passport,” he said on Friday.

There was no immediate response from Amazon.

Babu said he also informed the family of the passport holder. The teenager’s father had ordered a passport cover in mid-October but had later returned it. “We forgot to pull out the passport while returning the pouch,” Asmabi, mother of the 17-year old boy whose passport was delivered to Midhun Babu, told PTI.

Police have not reacted.
