Kiran Patel was arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir police earlier this mont

Fake PMO official arrested in J&K booked for house grab bid in Ahmedabad

Alleged conman from Gujarat Kiran Patel has been booked by the Ahmedabad cops on cheating and criminal conspiracy charges for trying to usurp a senior citizen's bungalow

Kiran Patel was arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir police earlier this month

Alleged conman from Gujarat Kiran Patel, held in Jammu and Kashmir for posing as a top official of the Prime Minister Office (PMO), has been booked by the Ahmedabad cops on cheating and criminal conspiracy charges for trying to usurp a senior citizen's bungalow using the same tactic, an official has said.
Patel, a resident of the Ghodasar area of the city, was arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir police earlier this month from a five-star hotel in Srinagar after the authorities grew suspicious about his activities.
On Wednesday, the Ahmedabad city crime branch lodged a case of cheating (Indian Penal Code section 420), criminal breach of trust (406), criminal conspiracy (120-b) and personating a public servant (170) against the alleged conman, said Deputy Commissioner of Police, Crime, Chaitanya Mandlik, on Thursday.
Patel's wife Malini Patel has been shown as a co-accused in the FIR (first information report), he said.
"As per our information, four FIRs related to cheating have been registered against Kiran Patel in different police stations of Gujarat in the past. Since he is in judicial custody, we will try to bring him here through a transfer warrant," Mandlik said.
In the latest FIR, it is alleged that Patel tried to grab a bungalow in a posh locality in Ahmedabad by winning the trust of its owner through false claims of being a "Class 1 officer in the PMO" and having close relations with politicians.
The complainant, 63-year-old Jagdish Chavda, owns a bungalow in the Shilaj area but wanted to sell it because of personal reasons. Patel approached Chavda in February 2022, claiming to be a real estate agent, and told the owner his property would fetch a good price if it was renovated.
To win Chavda's trust, Patel then identified himself as a "Class-1 officer in the PMO" as well as a partner in a cafe chain.
When Chavda agreed for the bungalow's renovation, Patel, his wife Malini and an interior designer started the work and took Rs 35 lakh in instalments from him, the FIR said.
As renovation was underway, Chavda shifted to his friend's residence in the Shela area. After some time, Chavda learnt that Patel and his wife had put their own name plate outside the bungalow and also did a house-warming ritual as if they were the owners.
When confronted, the Patel couple left the bungalow without finishing the renovation work, following which Chavda and his family moved back into the house, according to the police.
In August 2022, Chavda learnt through a court notice that Patel had filed a civil suit claiming ownership of the property, said the FIR.
In August 2019, a city-based decorator had lodged a complaint in Vadodara against Patel and two others for allegedly duping him of Rs 1 crore.
As per the FIR registered at the Raopura police station in 2019, Patel along with two event organisers - Dipesh Sheth and Dhara Sheth - had approached the complainant, Paritosh Shah, to decorate Navlakhi ground in Vadodara for a Navratri event held in October 2018.
While the trio paid nearly Rs 50 lakh to Shah in various instalments for the work done, they started giving excuses to clear the remaining bill of Rs 1 crore, as per the FIR.
At one point, Patel even threatened Shah with dire consequences claiming he was politically well-connected. When the trio refused to pay the pending money, Shah lodged a complaint with the Raopura police in August 2019.
A similar complaint of cheating and breach of trust was registered against Patel in Bayad town of Arvalli district in August 2020.
As per the FIR registered by the Bayad police, Patel along with his brother Manish Patel and the latter's wife Darshna had convinced three persons of Bayad to invest their savings in tobacco and cattle feed business for good returns.
In all, the accused took Rs 1.75 crore from one Ashish Patel and two of his friends by promising high returns on their investments, said the police document.
When cheques given by the accused got dishonoured, complainant Ashish Patel and others sought their money back, following which, the trio returned nearly Rs 50 lakh, but refused to pay the remaining sum of Rs 1.25 crore, said the FIR.

No one will be spared: J-K police on case of conman posing as PMO official

He said Patel was in police remand for 14 days during which "a rigorous interrogation was done, and investigations were conducted".

The Jammu and Kashmir Police Sunday said action will be taken against everyone involved in providing perks and security cover to the conman who posed as a PMO official. Kiran Bhai Patel from Gujarat has been arrested by police from a five-star hotel in Srinagar for posing as an 'additional secretary' in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and enjoying security cover besides other hospitality.
He had three cases registered against him in his home state.
Interacting with reporters on the sidelines of an event in Srinagar, the additional director general of police (ADGP), Kashmir, Vijay Kumar, said a case has been registered in the matter and investigations are being conducted.
"When the Srinagar Police got the information on March 2, the hotel was raided and the man was caught red-handed. Fake visiting cards were seized from him and he was arrested the same day after registration of a case," Kumar said.
He said Patel was in police remand for 14 days during which "a rigorous interrogation was done, and investigations were conducted".
The Kashmir Police chief said the force is also taking help from the Gujarat police.

Conman Chandrashekhar claims AAP leader Jain 'extorted' Rs 10 crore from him

Conman Chandrashekhar claims AAP leader Jain 'extorted' Rs 10 crore from him

Jailed conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar has written to the Delhi Lt. Governor alleging that AAP leader Satyendar Jain 'extorted' Rs 10 crore from him in 2019 to ensure his safety in prison, his lawyer said on Tuesday.
The letter written by Chandrashekhar, who is lodged in Mandoli jail here, on October 7 was submitted to LG V K Saxena on October 8 by his advocate Ashok K Singh. &nbsp;Rubbishing the allegations, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said it was an attempt to divert attention from the Morbi bridge collapse incident in Gujarat.
The letter alleged that more than Rs 50 crore was given to the AAP for giving Chandrashekhar an important post in the party in South Zone, and also to help him get nominated to the Rajya Sabha.
Chandrashekhar alleged that after his arrest in 2017 in the 'two leaf symbol corruption case' he was lodged in Tihar Jail and was visited by Jain, who held the portfolio of Jail ministry, asking him if he had disclosed anything to the probe agency related to his contribution to AAP.
&ldquo;Thereafter in 2019 again I was visited by Satyendar Jain and his secretary and his close friend Sushil in jail, asking me to pay Rs two crore every month to him as protection money to live safely in jail, and to get even basic facilities,&rdquo; he alleged.
Jain &ldquo;asked me to pay Rs 1.50 crore to DG prison Sandeep Goel, who, he said, was a loyal associate of his. He forced me to pay and an amount of Rs 10 crore was 'extorted' from me through constant pressure in a matter of two-three months,&rdquo; he alleged.
He claimed the the amounts were collected in Kolkata through Jain's associate. &nbsp;&ldquo;Hence a total amount of Rs 10 crore was paid to Satyendar Jain, and Rs 12.50 crore to DG prison Sandeep Goel,&rdquo; the letter alleged, adding that Chandrashekhar had given this information to the ED.
There was no immediate reaction available from Goel to the allegations.
Chandrasekhar further said that he also filed a petition before the Delhi High Court seeking a CBI inquiry, and the court has issued notice and the matter is scheduled for hearing next month.
&ldquo;As now Jain is lodged in Tihar, he is been threatening me through DG Prison and the jail administration, asking me to withdraw the complaint filed in the high court, and I have been severally harassed and threatened,&rdquo; he alleged, urging the LG to direct the probe agencies to investigate the matter.
&ldquo;The truth has to be out as I am not able to keep it inside me anymore. I am being harassed. The AAP and their so-called honest government have to be exposed and shown that ever in jail they are involved in high level corruption. I hereby undertake to tender full cooperation with complete honesty before any forum,&rdquo; Chandrashekhar further said.

Names of more A-list B-town actors have come up in the multi-starrer Sukesh Chandrashekhar con saga.
After Jacqueline Fernandez and Nora Fatehi, the Enforcement Directorate has claimed that Sukesh approached actors Sara Ali Khan, Janhvi Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar with expensive gifts.
The supplementary chargesheet filed by the ED in the 200 crore extortion case against Sukesh, has stated that he even met several models and actors pretending to be a business tycoon inside Delhi's Tihar jail in 2018.
New details have emerged after an alleged associate of the conman, Pinky Irani, was arrested last December. According to the ED, Irani projected Sukesh as a business tycoon and also took some models to Tihar to meet him.
The agency, in this prosecution complaint, has attached replies sent to it by Bollywood actors Bhumi Pednekar, Sara Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor, who were similarly approached by Chandrasekhar allegedly through Irani.
According to the charge sheet, Bhumi Pednekar told the agency early this year that Irani messaged her saying she was the "vice president (of) HR News Express Post and informed her that their group chairman (Chandrasekhar) is a fan of hers and wanted to speak with her about a huge project and also wanted to gift her a car." Pednekar maintained that she did not receive any gifts.
Sara Ali Khan told the ED that Irani had tried to contact her and someone in the name of "Suraj Reddy" insisted on gifting her a car, but she refused. However, on insisting, Sara said that she agreed to a box of chocolates and also received a Franck Muller watch.
Janhvi Kapoor told ED that while she was not approached by Chandrasekhar or Irani, she was contacted by a lady who identified herself as Leena. Janhvi inaugurated her salon and got a Christian Dior luxury bag and a professional fee of ₹ 18.94 lakh in her bank account.
