RAJKOT: Six persons, who used to work as sales agents for a goldsmith in Tramba village of Rajkot, were booked by the Aji Dam police for allegedly cheating the jeweller to the tune of Rs 85 lakh. All the accused belong to the same family and were selling the jewellery made by the complainant, Dushyant Kagdada, for more than a year.
Kagdada in his complaint stated that he met Shobhna Raijada through a customer. Shobhna used to take jewellery from Kagdada and he used to get the payment for the same after the former sold it to the customers. Gradually, Raijada’s husband and other family members also joined in the business.
In November 2020, Kagdada gave jewellery worth Rs 95.47 lakh to the Raijada family. According to the complaint, when Kagdada demanded the payment the Raijada family refused to pay and also threatened to kill him.
