A Delhi woman named Kiran Manral received an unsolicited cash-on-delivery parcel via Delhivery containing a half-torn, used kurta she did not order. Her son paid for the package before opening it. Kiran described the incident as an "elaborate scam" and raised concerns about how such parcels are sent without clear sender details. Delhivery acknowledged the complaint, apologized, and said it is investigating the matter. Other social media users reported similar experiences with unsolicited COD parcels.
