India’s antitrust body told a court that a Reuters report showing Amazon gave preferential treatment to a small group of sellers on its India platform corroborated evidence it had received and which had triggered an investigation of the tech giant reut.rs/3tDpzci 
The Competition Commission of India announced in January 2020 that it was investigating Amazon and Walmart’s Flipkart following a complaint from a trader group that they were promoting preferred sellers
But the probe into alleged violations of competition law was put on hold as the two firms mounted a court challenge
While arguing for restarting the probe, an Additional Solicitor General of India representing the @CCI_India, read parts of the @Reuters report to the judge in the Karnataka High Court, saying it 'corroborates what was said' in the original complaint reut.rs/3luOwE2
Referring to the Amazon documents cited in the story, Madhavi Goradia Divan representing the CCI, said the commission's director general of investigations might call for the documents from the company and examine them. @adityakalra reports reut.rs/3tDpzci
