Gurugram police have filed an FIR against the online marketplace Meesho after a 17-year-old boy died from consuming a poisonous chemical he bought through the platform. Police found that the teenager had ordered the substance using the name of a person based in Surat, Gujarat.

Indian Opinion Analysis
The two NDTV sources report the same triggering fact: a Gurugram teen's death after consuming a chemical bought on Meesho, leading to an FIR. Both versions focus on the police finding that the boy used a Surat-based person's name to order the substance. The coverage is straight reporting with no editorial framing, neither source judges the platform, the police, or the family. A measured reading confirms a tragic incident with an active investigation. The key unknown is whether Meesho will face action, and whether the FIR names the platform or just unknown persons. Watch for charges and next court date in Gurugram.
