Former Amazon seller sues Indian watchdog over antitrust probe

A former top Amazon seller in India has asked a judge to quash an antitrust investigation that found the U.S. e-commerce company and some of its sellers breached local competition laws, court records showed on Thursday.

Antitrust investigations conducted by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) have found Amazon and Walmart’s Flipkart, some of their sellers and smartphone brands, violated local competition laws by giving preference to select online sellers and prioritizing certain listings, Reuters has reported.
