After receiving a complaint from a customer, Salem IT Association (SITA) has
nabbed a person named Saalem, who was allegedly selling duplicate Kingston pen
drives. The association has registered a complaint with Pallapatty police, who
have filed an FIR and are looking into the issue.
The pen drives were sold asserting that the capacity is 32GB, while even 1GB
of data could not be saved and could not be formatted in it too. The package was
found to be made in China. Saalem disclosed that there are two more persons who
have come here to sell the products.
He told the police that they have come from Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, and
has admitted that they have purchased those spurious products from Chandni Chowk,
New Delhi. Further, he had added that the fake products were bought for about Rs
160 and sold in the price range between Rs 300-400.
They have been selling the products at crowded places and at the entrance of
colleges.
Vishal Parekh, Marketing Manager-APAC Business Division, KIngston said, "We
have sought the copy of FIR from SITA and will act upon it accordingly."
