Blinkit selling illegal knives has landed the e-commerce platform in trouble after Delhi Police registered an FIR against the company. The police conducted raids at Blinkit warehouses in Gurugram and Faridabad, seizing knives that violated government regulations. A total of 32 illegal knives were recovered from the Farrukhnagar facility, while 16 more were found in Delhi.
The seized knives include folding pocket knives, often linked to violent crimes. Police said these knives, priced at Rs 699 each, exceeded legally permitted dimensions. The blades measured 8 cm in length and 2.5 cm in width, above the legal limits of 7.62 cm length and 1.72 cm width. Such knives fall under prohibited arms when exceeding size limits.
Authorities highlighted that these knives could pose a serious threat if misused. The raids reflect stricter enforcement against online sales of restricted items, ensuring public safety and compliance with legal standards.
The Blinkit selling illegal knives case underscores the need for e-commerce companies to monitor product listings carefully and follow government regulations to prevent legal action.
