Video: Frustrated Parents Take TV From Byju's Office After Delay In Refund

Sometimes, delayed responses from service providers force customers to take unusual steps to resolve their issues. A video of a family has gone viral on social media, in which they are seen taking away a large TV installed in Byju’s office after not receiving a refund despite multiple requests.

According to the viral video, the family had initially requested a refund within the specified timeframe but encountered various obstacles in the process. After weeks of unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issue through regular channels, they took matters into their own hands by visiting the office and dismantling the TV unit, accompanied by remarks like, “Take it when you pay the refund,” directed at the office staff.
