Tamil Nadu influencer gets TV worth ₹1.69 lakh, fridge as ‘Diwali gifts’; but he says ‘stop placing orders’ - here’s why

Madurai-based social media influencer Veeramani received expensive gifts delivered to his doorstep during Diwali festival, but these were all cash-on-delivery orders (COD) and not what he had ordered. Frustrated by repeated deliveries, Veeramani pleaded with pranksters to stop placing orders. The harassment extended beyond electronic appliances, with food delivery platforms Swiggy and Zomato also sending unplanned orders to his home.

Fake orders for JCB excavators and military tanks were even circulated, adding to the distress. Veeramani, who previously sought contributions for a trip to Kerala, was left overwhelmed by the situation.
