A cop booked in Surat for cheating a diamond trader

Surat: A complaint has been filed against an armed Lok Rakhsak of Surat Police for cheating a diamond trader.

According to the police, in December 2020, an urgent need for money arose for the complainant, Karshan bhai and accused Armed Lok Rakshak Kamesh Awsura provided a loan of Rs 8 lakh to him at that time. In exchange, Karshan bhai transferred the documents of his 5 acres (8 bigha) of land worth 1.25 crores in Sisodara Gam to the accused. The condition was that the documents would be returned once the loan was repaid. However, when the complainant went to repay the 8 lakh, Kamlesh told him that he had taken a loan of 35 lakhs from third parties in lieu of the complainant’s land. The accused told Karshanbhai that if he wanted his documents back, he would have to pay 50 lakhs. In response, the complainant transferred 50 lakhs to the account of the accused through his friend. The accused has not returned these 50 lakhs to the complainant.

Speaking to the media, the complainant, Karshan bhai, stated that the accused Police Constable Kamlesh Awsura had provided a loan of Rs 8 lakh to him. In return, Karshan transferred the land documents to the accused’s name. However, when Karshan bhai went to repay the loan amount, the accused informed him that he had taken a loan of around 50 lakhs using Karshan bhai’s land as collateral. To get his land documents back, Karshan was required to give Kamlesh an additional 50 lakhs, which Kamlesh would refund. Even after Karshan provided the 50 lakhs, the accused did not return the documents and informed the complainant that Karshan owed him a total of 32.88 lakhs, including the principal amount of the loan (8 lakhs) and interest. DeshGujarat
