6. Per contra, the learned Additional State Public Prosecutor Sri B.N. Jagadeesha would vehemently refute the submissions to contend that every interesting modus operandi is adopted by these petitioners. Since it is an online transaction it can be operated from anywhere. He would succinctly explain the modus. It is his submission that accused No.1 places an order to be delivered to accused No.2 and one lady in eBay, relative of accused No.1 processes the order. The moment it is delivered, accused No.2 initiates C-return. While C-return is initiated, the product in the box is changed. C-return is taken back which is routed through eBay.

vii. When Amazon spoke to some of the original recipients (refer ii above) of the products using the contact number given at the time of purchase, they confirmed that the original product was retained by them and not returned. On further discussion, we were told that they had placed orders on ebay.com for purchase of products through one eBay seller who functions under the name of 'rajarshi96' and from some other sellers. One of the recipients has shared the seller and purchase details from eBay with us. (Refer Exhibit-5 list of customers been contacted).

viii. It may be noted that eBay seller Rajarshi96 is an active seller on eBay and is engaged in selling Nikon Cameras, high end Music Systems and televisions - Exhibit 6 eBay Seller detail.

ix. Post analyzing the IP Details for all the orders, following observations were noticed: For around 48% of orders it is suspected that the IP address used on the orders are proxy as these are from different international locations. Remaining 52% of orders the IP matches to West Bengal under an internet service provider by name The Creative Eye Software Solution. G. T. Road, Pandua, Hooghly, West Bengal, India - 9475045384. Refer Exhibit-7.

x. It is pertinent to mention here that refunds were made to A/Cs of Federal Bank (90 refunds), Axis Bank (four refunds), ICICI (six refunds) and Yes Bank (three refunds). Refer Exhibit-8.

xi. We suspect that Deepanwita Ghosh operates the eBay seller account of Rajarshi96. We believe that after receiving customer orders on eBay through Rajarshi96, Deepanwita places a parallel order on Amazon India website and directs Amazon to ship the product to her eBay customer. After the eBay customer receives the product, she initiates a C return to return a random and incorrect product in order to secure return of monies originally paid to Amazon.
