An incident that rivals the story of the Bollywood film Special 26 in Gandhidham explodes at Soni when a woman steals a pot of ED’s fake red.

Bhuj News: Just like the Bollywood movie Special 26, a fake raid was conducted by fake ED officials to extort money and jewelery from a gold trader in Gandhidham. Fake ED of 13 people from Ahmedabad, Bhuj and Gandhidham. The only woman from Ahmedabad included in the team had stolen gold jewellery. When the Sony dealer came to know about this, the entire matter reached the police. East Kutch Police has recovered 12 of the 13 fake ED officers, including jewelery worth Rs 22 lakh and 3 cars worth Rs 45 lakh used in the crime. 15 days ago, a plan was made to conduct a fake raid on a tea hotel in Adipur by posing as an ED officer.

But the plan failed as it did not go as planned and the Sagarits, who came from Ahmedabad, cheated and now out of the 13 people involved in this crime, 12, including women, are in jail. According to the police, five-six years ago this same Soni had received a bribe of Rs 100 crore in an income tax raid there. If it is clear that fake red curry is actually a big scam, then calling the real ED and getting 10 per cent reward is still expected to yield Rs 10 crore. However, a woman named Nisha Mehta from Ahmedabad was accused of jewelery theft and a complaint was lodged with the police.

According to the plan of the accused, the real raid will be conducted immediately by keeping the goods and property aside and 10 percent of the goods and property recovered after the real raid will be divided among themselves as reward. But Nisha, who came posing as a fake officer, did not stop with the gold jewellery. If Nisha had not committed the theft, perhaps Kariwari would not have known that the allegations were false. Police sources said that the complainant became suspicious when no documents were found regarding the sealing of less jewelery and the complainant contacted the police.
