Diamond traders duped of Rs 1.39 cr, broker booked

 The Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) police Thursday filed two FIRs against a broker for allegedly duping two diamond merchants of Rs 1.71 crore. The accused broker took diamonds worth Rs 1.71 crore from the complainant merchants under the pretext of selling them to clients. But, allegedly escaped with the precious stones.

The accused Dhanraj Prithviraj Jain lives in Kandivali. He has a diamond firm named Diara. The first FIR against Jain was registered based on the complaint by Manishkumar Waghani, 42. A broker Manoj Navdiya had introduced Jain to Waghani saying he has a client who wants good quality diamonds. Waghani gave Navdiya diamonds worth Rs 1.32 crore to give to Jain. According to police, after receiving the diamonds, Jain kept delaying them giving one date after another, and then finally told Waghani he would show the diamonds to a party on April 25, said a police officer.

On April 25, Waghani called him but his phone was switched off and he had stopped coming to office. This is when Waghani realised that Jain had no intention of returning the diamonds and he approached BKC police station.

Jain also allegedly duped another diamond firm and a broker of Rs 39.09 lakh. The complainants in their statement have said that the accused has similarly duped many diamond traders and brokers, states both the FIR.

“We have registered two cases against Jain and are probing the matter,” said Dixit Gedam, deputy commissioner of police, zone-11.

Appointment of public prosecutors: L-G & Delhi govt’s latest admin tussle

 

Accusing it of inaction, blatant disregard of court orders and insensitivity, the L-G Secretariat alleged the AAP government had been sitting on a trial court order to appoint senior public prosecutors and public prosecutors for speedy disposal of 20 POCSO cases in different city CBI courts for the past nine months.

Alleging that the file related to the decision had been doing rounds from Chief Minister to different ministers since January 11, and was currently pending with CM Arvind Kejriwal for the last 25 days, officials said L-G VK Saxena, “constrained by this inaction and unexplained delay”, approved Home Department’s proposal related to their appointment.

The government accused the L-G of having issued the “illegal” orders behind its back, and said these would be challenged in the Supreme Court. “Neither the minister nor CM was taken into confidence by L-G. We are surprised that despite facing strong reprimand from the SC repeatedly, L-G has issued orders without jurisdiction,” the government stated.

According to L-G House officials, Home Department’s proposal involved invoking the power of the central government u/s 24(8) of CrPC and sending it for the issue of notification for appointment of senior prosecutors to Ministry of Home Affairs. “The file… was moved by Home Department following a direction to this effect by a trial court, and subsequent letters by CBI, to ensure the same in August and December 2022,” L-G House officials said.

The L-G Secretariat said the file first reached the Delhi Home Minister on January 11 and the CM on January 16, who marked it to the minister-in-charge on February 6. After reaching the Law Minister “through an unspecified date” in file monitoring system, it was submitted to the CM on May 8, since when it was “lying unaddressed”, L-G House officials alleged.

A Raj Niwas official alleged: “Even as the CM and his ministers unabashedly politicise incidents of crime and speak about the absence of fear of law amongst criminals, when it came to practice, they did not comply with basic requirements of investigation and justice delivery system.”

The AAP government retaliated by accusing Saxena of interfering with the work of the government. “The people of Delhi are fed up with this L-G, who, rather than doing his own job of maintaining law and order, is repeatedly interfering in working of the elected government… When the women of Delhi are feeling unsafe and facing assaults, L-G should be devoting his energies to providing safety to the people of Delhi,” the government stated.

Kejriwal tweeted: “The women of Delhi are feeling very unsafe… Their appeal to LG saab is – LG saab, quit politics, do something.”

Meanwhile, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva accused the Delhi government of only talking big on women’s safety but doing “little work” to get speedy justice for victims. “Despite the efforts of the Delhi Police, these cases are not disposed of in a timely manner due to lack of public prosecutors,” Sachdeva alleged.
