A group of men barged into the firm's office in Ganeshpeth area and ransacked it, local sources said.
A letter addressed to Amazon India Limited and signed by local MNS leaders Chandu Lade and Vishal Badge claimed that Pakistani flags were available for sale on its website, and such objects are used by those engaged in anti-national activities.
Further, a book titled "Deadly Bhagavat Geeta" which 'denigrates' the Bhagavad Gita is sold on Amazon and it should be removed from the platform, the letter said.
