Valsad

Bilimora, south Gujarat based Ravi Tailor had posted advertisement to sell his Android mobile phone on popular classifide website OLX. He had never imagined consequences of this posting.

Ravi was approached by Chintan Panchal(22) who works as welder and Manthan Patel(20) diploma mechanical engineer over phone call.

“Prospective buyers” Chintan and Manthan asked Ravi to come with his mobile phone near Guaharbaug petrol pump. When Ravi reached there, they met him and watched his phone. They told Ravi they liked mobile phone but will need to show it to wife who stays in Sankalp apartment nearby.

Ravi was on his friend’s bike. He took both Chintan and Manthan to Sankalp apartment on bike. Chintan and Manthan asked Ravi to stay at the ground floor and went inside the apartment building. After some time they returned and then sought Ravi’s bike so that mobile phone can be shown to son. They asked Ravi to sit inside their flat and wait for their return. Ravi gave his bike, but thugs never returned, and there was no flat belonging to them in that apartment building.

On complaint filed by Ravi, police arrested Chintan and Manthan with Maruti car, bike, Ravi’s mobile and two more mobile phones.
