Madurai Influencer Faces Harassment After Unwanted Cash-on-Delivery Orders Flood Home
Madurai influencer Veeramani's online request for Diwali sweets led to a flood of unwanted cash-on-delivery orders, including expensive electronics like a Rs 1.69 lakh television, refrigerators, and smartphones. Mischievous followers also placed fake orders for heavy machinery and military tanks. Unable to pay or accept the deliveries, Veeramani pleaded publicly for the pranks to stop but was forced to leave his home due to continuous harassment by delivery personnel. Neighbours confirmed his departure amid ongoing disturbances.
