A seller on Amazon India says that employees were held against the law during an operation.

Cloudtail, which used to be one of the top sellers for Amazon (AMZN.O) in India, has said that India’s antitrust organisation wrongly locked up its representatives during a strike over a violation of thought competition regulations, according to court records.

Cloudtail was one of a small group of online sellers who were detained during an investigation of Amazon and Walmart’s (WMT.N) Flipkart over what was thought to be special treatment on online business platforms. In a court recording, Cloudtail said that the detentions were a reason for refusing to release materials that were taken during the strike.

A recording from May 30 said: “Three high-level government officials were locked up for more than 30 hours until the end of the hunt and seizure activity,” On April 28 and 29, the event took place.

Demands for information from Cloudtail and Amazon were not met.

A senior source at the Competition Commission of India (CCI), which led the strike, said that the accusations were false and that the strike had the necessary legal approvals and was in line with the guard dog’s administrative cycles.

The source wasn’t allowed to talk to the media and didn’t want to be named.

The signing of Cloudtail is part of a growing fight between India’s experts, who are undeniably sure of themselves, and the foreign online business players who, along with their subsidiaries, run the country’s booming online retail market.

A long time ago, small dealers, who make up a big part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s voter base, have said that foreign monsters favour certain sellers online, which is against Indian law.

Those claims are not true, say the groups.

This isn’t the only place where Indian workers have recently gotten into open legal fights with foreign businesses.

At the beginning of May, Xiaomi, a Chinese cell phone company, said in a recording that its top leaders could have been hurt or put under pressure during an audit of settlement payments by the Enforcement Directorate, which is India’s organisation for fighting financial crime. The office said they were not true.

The hearing about Cloudtail’s recording at the Delhi High Court on June 3 didn’t say anything about the detentions, and the things that were recorded haven’t been made public.

Cloudtail’s lawyers told the person in charge that the company shouldn’t have been sued because it was just a third-party seller on Amazon.

The lawyer for the CCI, Manish Vashisht, said that Cloudtail was just trying to stop experts from continuing with the test, since the guard dog was looking more closely at Amazon and how it works with sellers.

A hearing about this situation has been set for July 15 by the person in charge.

Amazon recently took full control of Cloudtail, which has since stopped selling on the Amazon platform.

During the time that CCI was looking at, Cloudtail was limited by a project that Amazon and an Indian group worked on together.

The two companies said last August that they wouldn’t grow the business past May 2022. This was because a Reuters investigation based on Amazon records showed that the U.S. company had given Cloudtail and a small group of other vendors special treatment for a long time, which they used to get around Indian laws.

The investigation found that, even though Amazon publicly referred to Cloudtail as a free dealer selling products on its website, company records showed that the U.S. company was very interested in growing it. Amazon has said that it doesn’t favour any sellers and that it does what the law says.

In the most recent court hearing, Cloudtail had a problem with the CCI strikes because it was holding on to classified information, such as photos of family members and blood test results, while its lawyers were not allowed to enter the building or help the representatives during the attack.
