Flipkart and its rival Amazon were issued with notices by the Delhi Commission for Women, asking why dangerous acids are available on their sites.
Online marketplace Flipkart on Thursday said it has blacklisted a seller who allegedly sold acid that was used to attack a 17-year-old girl in west Delhi this week and is extending all support to the probe agencies.
"We strongly condemn this unfortunate incident, and our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and her family. The Flipkart marketplace platform closely monitors and delists products that violate expected standards," the company said in a statement.
"Strict action is taken against sellers who are found to be engaged in selling products that are illegal, unsafe, and prohibited. The concerned seller has been blacklisted, and we are extending all support to the concerned authorities in their investigation," Flipkart said.
Earlier in the day, Flipkart and its rival Amazon were issued with notices by the Delhi Commission for Women, asking why dangerous acids are available on their sites.
