The case has been registered as an FIR under section 2 of the Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Act. The police took the step after state Home Minister Narottam Mishra directed DGP to register an FIR. He had added that prima facie, it is a violation of the ‘National Flag Code’.

The ministry said that Pakistani manufacturers would gain access to a worldwide e-commerce platform with Amazon and it would open up a new chapter of the supply chain where Pakistani manufacturers could sell directly to customers. Pakistan remained off Amazon's list of sellers despite the company's presence in neighbouring India, and Pakistani retailers wishing to sell their products on the marketplace would register their companies from other countries. After being added to the list, Pakistani merchants will be able to sell their products on the platform with ease.

Launched in India in June 2013, Amazon has been giving tough competition to home-grown ecommerce sites such as Flipkart, Snapdeal.

Amazon.com Inc will start a business loan programme for small sellers in the United Kingdom on Tuesday and is looking to launch it this year in seven more countries including China.
