Surat: Harshad Kachhadiya (31) from the Yogi Chowk area of the city purchased a 391.100 mg silver keychain (zudo) for Rs. 39,000 after watching a reel announcing a discount scheme at Rijoy Jewellers. However, when he got the keychain checked, 189.445 mg of silver was missing from the item. Kachhadiya filed a complaint on October 23 at Sarthana Police Station against the owners and partners of Rejoy Jewellers.

Kachhadiya stated in his complaint that he had watched a reel on social media announcing a 40 percent discount on silver purchases. He then purchased a 391.100 mg silver keychain (zudo) worth Rs. 39,000 on October 7 from Rejoy Jewellers. However, the keychain started developing a black color within a few days. When checked at an A-One Tech-based facility, the pure silver content was found to be only 171.955 mg. The chain’s quality showed a silver proportion of 8 to 15 percent, while the clips had 28 to 39 percent, and the balls had 50 to 90 percent silver. The total weight of the keychain included the weight of stones and diamonds, meaning 189.445 mg of pure silver was missing. DeshGujarat
