Four men have been arrested by the Malad police for allegedly defrauding a Malad-based jeweler of Rs 1.90 lakh by mortgaging fake gold bangles. The jeweler handed over the loan money after the cursory examination he had conducted revealed the gold as genuine. When gold bangles were examined in a machine, it was found that the bangles were gold plated. The jeweler approached the Malad police and lodged an FIR.
Under the guidance of deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Anand Bhoite Zone 11 and senior police inspector Ravindra Adhane, police sub-inspector (PSI) Shivaji Shinde and his team initiated the investigation. One accused was apprehended from the Jogeshwari Behram Bauge locality, leading to the subsequent capture of three more suspects from the Rabale area of New Mumbai.
