Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: A man from Rajasthan was arrested for allegedly cheating a Kandivali-based jeweller of ₹43 lakh by mortgaging idols of deities claiming to be made of gold. “The men were related and part of a gang, but the woman and the child were hired and brought from Rajasthan,” said Ajay Bansal, deputy commissioner of police. Bansal said that the accused, Jitendra Sundar Bhopa, 29, had mortgaged small amounts of gold with jeweller Kamlesh Mangilal Jain, 46, four times and had established trust. “Since Bhopa comes with his family every time and paid off the mortgages before time on all four occasions, Jain trusted him blindly and gave ₹43 lakhs,” said Bansal.
