In a strange and troubling case, a man from West Bengal has been arrested for harassing his former girlfriend. He sent her more than 300 cash-on-delivery (COD) parcels over a period of four months. The woman, who is 24 years old and works at a bank, filed a complaint at the Lake Town police station after facing repeated problems because of these unwanted parcels.

According to a Times of India report, the victim said she was being harassed by someone who kept sending multiple COD packages in her name. Because of this, she had to return hundreds of parcels, got negative ratings from delivery agents, and even had her accounts blocked by online shopping websites like Amazon and Flipkart.

At first, police suspected one of her colleagues. But later, they found out it was her ex-boyfriend, 25-year-old Suman Sikdar from Nadia, who was behind it. Suman and the woman had known each other for a long time but had broken up recently.

“The man confessed to making the parcel bookings and harassing her with texts and calls from unknown numbers. He said the woman loved online shopping and often demanded gifts from him, which he couldn’t afford. He was under the impression the woman left him for his inability to provide for her, and hence he started harassing her with the bulk delivery of parcels," a police officer told the newspaper.

The woman explained that the trouble began in November 2024, shortly after their breakup. She said, “All of them were cash-on-delivery products, and they range from tablets and mobile phones to dresses and small gift items. Throughout February, there were multiple deliveries of Valentine’s Day gifts and other products each day. I had frequent tiffs with delivery agents who negatively rated me, and when I took the matter up with the e-commerce platforms, they blocked my account."

Suman was presented in Salt Lake court on Wednesday and was granted bail. Police said the investigation is still ongoing.
