Three arrested for cheating by selling counterfeit gold

The city police have arrested three persons hailing from Rajasthan for cheating a man by selling him counterfeit gold.

DCP Shrikant Dhivare said the accused were arrested by Upnagar police station.

They were identified as Sukha Bhiram Waghela, Dalaram Devram Rathod and Kannharam Jethaji Solanki.

They first sold some genuine gold beads to the complainant, and later offered more gold, which they said they had 'excavatied', at half the price.

The complainant paid them Rs 1.5 lakh, but later realised it wasn't pure gold.
