• Typing Error. A typo in the police report for the Reebok India fraud has inflated the cost of the scam from Rs870 crore to Rs8,700 crore. Gurgaon police say it was due to a “small printing error” and have sacked a computer operator for making it. Reebok India had filed an FIR against its former managing director and COO alleging that they stole products, set up secret warehouses, and fudged accounts to create fictitious sales.
