Trader Claims Gold Was Given for Business Funding
According to the police complaint, Ashok Bansibhai Vacheta (42), a resident of Nava Vadaj, alleged that he came into contact with one of the accused through a mutual acquaintance after purchasing a second-hand vehicle in 2024.
The accused reportedly introduced him to two business associates, claiming they required funds to purchase garments in bulk before the Diwali season and promising quick financial returns.
Gold Biscuit and Chain Handed Over
The complainant stated that, as he did not have sufficient cash, he handed over his daughter’s 50-gram gold biscuit and a 16.250-gram gold chain after receiving assurances that the valuables would be returned within a few days.
According to the complaint, the gold was handed over on November 24, 2025, in the presence of family members and a friend.
