New Delhi : The Noida Police on Friday registered a case against e-commerce giant Amazon for allegedly hurting “Hindu sentiments” after rugs and toilet seat covers with pictures of Hindu gods were available for sale on its US website. “The products in question are being removed from our store,” the spokesperson added. “The foreign-based company regularly puts up products on its website which hurts the sentiments of Hindus. In 2017, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj had received several complaints about Amazon selling flip-flops with Mahatma Gandhi’s image. There were also reports of Amazon Canada selling on its platform doormats depicting Indian flag.
