A Deepavali sweets request on social media has left a Madurai-based content creator facing repeated unwanted deliveries and reportedly forced him to leave his home after followers began sending cash-on-delivery (COD) orders to his address, PTI reported. Veeramani, known for his humorous posts and use of local slang, had shared his residential address in West Anuppanadi on X in the hope that someone would send him a box of sweets for the festival.

Instead, his address was used to place a stream of orders for household appliances, electronic goods and food, according to the account provided. Delivery personnel from Amazon and Flipkart reportedly arrived with washing machines, refrigerators, smartphones and televisions, including one television order valued at Rs 1.69 lakh. Food delivery workers from Swiggy and Zomato also turned up at his residence.

Veeramani had not placed the orders and said he could not accept the goods or provide the one-time passwords (OTPs) required by delivery agents. The prank orders continued despite his public appeal for them to stop. Neighbours later told visitors that he had left the house after being repeatedly disturbed by delivery personnel.

Madurai influencer pleads with followers to stop COD orders

As the deliveries continued, Veeramani posted a video from his home asking followers to end the pranks. In the video, he expressed distress over the harassment that followed his request for sweets.

“I am suffering a lot after requesting a sweet box. I bow at your feet... Please stop ordering. I am under severe pressure,” he said.

The appeal did not appear to bring the deliveries to a halt. Alongside the reported orders for appliances and food, some users shared screenshots online claiming to have placed COD orders for heavy machinery, including JCB excavators and military tanks allegedly worth Rs 70 crore.

The claims about the machinery were shared online as part of the pranks; the supplied account does not establish that these items were actually dispatched to his home.

When reporters and other social media influencers visited Veeramani’s residence in Anuppanadi, they found the house locked. Neighbours said he had packed up and left after delivery personnel repeatedly arrived at the property during the day and night.

In recent social media reels, Veeramani said he was travelling and that people would no longer be able to locate his address. “I am travelling. No one can find my address. Now, no one can control me now,” he said.

His current whereabouts remain unknown, according to the supplied account. Calls to the public phone number associated with him were also reportedly blocked.
