Wayanad man who ordered a passport pouch also gets a passport
A man in Wayanad has claimed that he was delivered a valid passport by an e-commerce giant along with a passport pouch for which he had placed an order a few days ago.
Mithun Babu, a resident of Cheengadi, near Kaniyampetta, said he had ordered for a passport pouch from Amazon on October 30 and he received the product on November 1. When he opened the box he found a passport along with the pouch.
The passport belonged to a minor boy from Kunnamkulam in Thrissur district. When the issue went viral in social media, his parents contacted Mr. Babu. They had also ordered for the product recently but found it was little smaller for their purpose and returned it without taking back the passport.
