Crime Patrol: Diamond thief walks into web honeytrap (Episode 159 on 24 Sep 2012)

MUMBAI: Even conmen have their weaknesses and can be outsmarted.



A 24-year-old youth with an active web life walked right into a honeytrap, days after he allegedly stole diamonds worth Rs 6 lakh from his employer, and got arrested recently for forgery, theft and cheating. Karan Patel, the accused, was remanded in police custody till June 15.



The D B Marg police said Satish Shah, who runs a jewellery shop in the Lamington Road area, filed a complaint against Patel last month.



In the complaint, Shah said Patel had been working for him as a diamond sorter for the past four months. The youth had been able to win Shah's confidence. "In the first week of May, Shah gave him some diamonds for sorting. Patel promptly took the diamonds and, on the pretext of going to the restroom, disappeared," said inspector P G Sanas. Shah waited for nearly five hours before lodging the police complaint. He tried to call up Patel on his cellphone but it was switched off.

During the probe, it was revealed that the address provided by Patel (in Bhuleshwar) was a fake one. "Personnel from the D B Marg police went to the rented house where Patel supposedly stayed, but it turned out to be a fake address. They then learnt that the accused was staying in another house nearby. However, he had left by the team the police reached the spot," said deputy commissioner of police (Zone II) Anil Kumbhare. "Shah then told us that Patel was quite active on Facebook," he added.



The police then came up with a simple yet effective plan. They created a false profile of a good-looking girl and sent a invite to Patel, hoping that he would fall for the honeytrap. "The accused immediately accepted it and even sent her a chat invite. But we decided to proceed carefully. Using the girl's profile, I continued chatting with him for a few more days. We even exchanged cellphone numbers," said Sanas.



On Saturday, Patel was asked to meet the girl at a restaurant in Opera House. The cops even arranged for a woman constable in mufti. Patel was trapped and arrested the moment he got close to her. The police said they were yet to recover the diamonds from Patel.

Crime Patrol: Abduction story of best friend's girlfriend (Episode 129 - 13th July 2012)

Inside Stroy

AHMEDABAD: This intriguing tale of friendship which involved the staged abduction of the best pal's girlfriend may not have been explored yet by Bollywood. But it has happened in real life. Not only did a man help his friend elope, but he ran away with the girl and put her up in a hotel to shield the real boyfriend from suspicion! The dramatic bluff - spurred by love and friendship - was busted by Gandhinagar police officials.

According to Mansa police officials, Riddhi Patel (18) a resident of Heerawadi in Bapunagar, was reported missing by her father, Rajesh Patel, on Friday. "Patel got a call from a man who identified himself as Amjad Khan Pathan," said a Mansa police official. "He told Patel that he was holding his daughter captive and wanted Rs 5 lakh to release her. Patel did not believe him as Riddhi had been to her maternal uncle's residence at Ajol village near Mansa. He called her uncle who confirmed that Riddhi had not been back."

Patel then filed a complaint with Gandhinagar police. Usha Rada, deputy superintendent of police, Kalol division, told TOI that the case was taken on a priority basis by investigators. Five teams, including one from Ahmedabad crime branch, were formed for the search.

"The teams worked day and night and secured conclusive proof from technical surveillance that she was with someone," Rada said. "We kept watch on a bus coming from Patan to Ambikanagar and nabbed Ajay Mali, a youth from Bapunagar, who was accompanying Riddhi."

Riddhi was unaware of her own abduction. Investigators said that the plot was hatched by Riddhi's lover Jagdish Yadav, 25, a resident of Heerawadi. Yadav lives across Riddhi's house and the two fell in love. However, Riddhi's father vehemently opposed the union and asked her to keep away from Yadav. Meanwhile, Yadav's wedding was fixed for May.

"Yadav met Riddhi in private and urged her to elope with him. Riddhi refused initially but agreed later to the scheme," said BN Dave, inspector of Mansa police station. "Yadav however feared that if he and Riddhi go missing at the same time, police might get suspicious. So Yadav entrusted his friend Ajay with the responsibility of creating a ruse. Ajay went to Mansa on his bike and picked up Riddhi as agreed and went to Nadiad on Friday afternoon from Ajol."

Yadav called Riddhi's father and demanded Rs 5 lakh as he planned to elope with Riddhi with the money. However, before his plans materialized, the duo was caught by police, and on Saturday afternoon he too was apprehended. Investigators said that while Yadav does not have any stable job, Mali works with a private firm in Ahmedabad.

Crime Patrol:Foul murder case of a 5th Class Student in Bind (M.P.)-30 Dec 2011

Bhopal: A CCTV installed at the hostel premises in Bhind district helped police unravel a tragic incident wherein a nine-year-old boy was thrown off the roof by his senior inmate on warden's order. The boy died. The warden had allegedly lured the class 10 student to throw off the boy, promising 80% marks in the final exams.

The blood curdling incident took place at the hostel of Scholars Public School on November 27.

Gaurav Gupta, a class five student, was found dead under mysterious circumstances. Initially, police thought that Gaurav, who hailed from Jalaun (UP), fell to death accidentally. Later examination of CCTV installed at the hostel premises unrevealed the shocking story. The footage showed Gaurav Gupta, apparently asleep, being taken on shoulder towards the roof by his teenaged inmate. Nineteen seconds later, the footage shows the teenager returning without the boy. During interrogation the accused revealed it to police that he was instructed to throw Gaurav off the roof by his warden Ashok Singh. 

Ashok Singh and the teenaged accused have been arrested on charges of murder and conspiracy.

Sources said, Gaurav had complained against the warden to his parents after being beaten up badly over silly mischief. The warden, who feared action from the school over injury marks on Gaurav, decided to eliminate him fabricating the case as of an accident.

Police said that the warden was well aware that 16 CCTV cameras were installed at the hostel premises but was under impression that all of them were non-functional. Bhind superintendent of police (SP) Anurag told DNA that the motive behind murder of young child is not clear. "We would be taking the accused on police remand for more details" he said.

The inside Story

Ahmedabad, Sat Oct 30 2010

Priyanka Veniram, the MBA student whose body was found in a sewer near Nirma University on October 24, was murdered by her fiance Mahendra Sadhu, the police claimed on Friday, adding the suspect had confessed to the killing since he did not want to marry her and wanted to reunite with his old love instead.



According to police, Sadhu, a civil engineering student at the L J Institute of Engineering and son of Chandu Sadhu, former President of Chandlodia Nagarpalika, was in love with his former classmate when he was in Class XII. Later, they broke off after which the girl left for Dubai to live with her parents. Sadhu, in the meantime, got engaged to Priyanka in April, 2009 as their families knew each other well.



About a month ago, Sadhu once again got in touch with his old love, who had come to Gujarat during Navaratri, said police. It seems Sadhu changed his mind and he no more wanted to marry Priyanka, they said, adding he along with his college friend Hardik Gohel hatched the plan to kill Priyanka. The police said they have recovered the car, cushion and sedatives used in the crime. According to them, Sadhu had admitted that he and his friend had purchased a cushion, some bottled water and some sedatives from the National Handloom near Vyaswadi area of Ahmedabad on October 21 while they were waiting for Priyanka to return from the college. They picked up Priyanka from Agarwal Mall at Sola, where she usually parked her vehicle to commute in the college bus. Sadhu told her that they would go for a drive and he would drop her in a few hours.



Priyanka called her brother around 5.30 pm, telling him she would be late to home as she was studying in the college library.



Sadhu, police said, gave Priyanka some water laced with sedatives to drink, rendering her unconscious. The three then drove towards Drive-in Cinema and suffocated the girl with the cushion on the way. From there, they came back on the S G Highway and threw away her body in a sewer. They took care to throw her belongings at different places and then rejoined their friends later in the evening at their daily haunt in Shastrinagar so as not to raise any suspicion.

Mahendra Sadhu (circled right) killed Priyanka (below) so he could marry former girlfriend he had met again on Facebook

Mahendra Sadhu (circled right) killed Priyanka (below) so he could marry former girlfriend he had met again on Facebook

Five days after a 22-year-old girl’s body was found in a soakpit near Gota Circle, the police arrested her fiancé and his childhood friend for murder. Mahendra Sadhu, 22, and Hardik Gohil had drugged Priyanka Ramanuj, strangled her and thrown her body in soakpit on October 21.



Mahendra allegedly committed the crime as he had rekindled his affair with a former girlfriend and wanted to marry her.



The Local Crime Branch (Ahmedabad Rural) and the Rapid Response Cell had found clues after trawling through Mahendra’s Facebook account and stumbling on a suspicious message he sent to his friend Kunal. When they confronted Mahendra, he broke down and confessed his crime.



Superintendent of Police (Ahmedabad Rural) Sandeep Singh said, “We were sure Priyanka had not committed suicide. We were working on three points: She was killed, the guilty was close to her and there was more than one person involved.”



During probe, the police found that Mahendra had met his ex-girlfriend during Navratri. “This made us suspicious. We found that Mahendra had an affair with Disha Dave while they were studying in Class 12 (Science). In January 2009, they broke up. Disha and her parents settled in Dubai. Mahendra changed his cellphone soon after the incident.”



Seeing his son so heart-broken, builder Chandu Sadhu decided to get him married. He approached his chief engineer Chandrakant Ramanuj whose daughter Priyanka had broken her engagement with a doctor a while ago. A year ago, Mahendra got in touch with Disha on Facebook. “He developed feelings for her again. Then Disha came to Ahmedabad during Navratri.



Mahendra accompanied Priyanka to a garba one day, and spent the remaining days with Disha. He wanted to marry Disha, so he asked his childhood friend Hardik — a fifth semester student at L J Institute of Engineering — to convince Priyanka to break off the match. Hardik posed the problem as a hypothetical situation to find out Priyanka’s view on the issue. The MBA student made it clear she would not be able to endure another heartbreak.”



Mahendra hatched a plan to kill Priyanka and sought Hardik’s help. “On October 21, they bought cushions from National Handloom Corporation in Vyaswadi. They also bought a bottle of water in which they mixed sleeping pills,” said police.





Priyanka used to park her two-wheeler near Bhagwat Vidyapith on S G Highway and board an ST bus to reach her college in Gandhinagar. “When she returned on October 21, Hardik and Mahendra were waiting for her in his i10 car. Mahendra pretended to take her on a long drive and asked her to lie to her parents about why she would come home late. Near Vaishnodevi Circle, Mahendra offered her the spiked water and Priyanka lost consciousness,” said police.



Mahendra made several calls to Priyanka’s cellphone, then switched it off. He then went for the 7 pm show at Drive-In Theatre. “There, he tried to smother Priyanka with a pillow. She did not die, so he wore plastic gloves and tried to strangle her. The 22-year-old fell unconscious again but Mahendra and Hardik thought she was dead. They then drove to Jagatpur to find a place to dump the body. They discarded Priyanka’s belongings along the way one by one. They finally found a soakpit near Gota where they threw Priyanka’s body. The girl choked on the dirty water and died. This is why the post-mortem could not find the exact cause of death,” said police.



The two parked the car at Mahendra’s house. Mahendra then dropped Hardik home on a two-wheeler. He also called Priyanka’s brother to say he had called his fiancée several times but she was not picking up the phone.



Singh said, “He later sent a Facebook message to Kunal, asking Disha not to contact him or call him for a while. He promised to reveal later what had happened.” This is a major clue that drew police’s suspicion on Mahendra.
