Four arrested by LT Marg police after allegedly luring Zaveri Bazaar traders with promises of cheap pure gold and disappearing with the cash

The accused allegedly approached jewellers claiming they could supply pure gold at rates lower than the market price. Police said the gang targeted traders from Zaveri Bazaar and built trust over several days by repeatedly visiting shops and posing as members of a “syndicate group” dealing in bulk gold transactions
LT Marg police have arrested four members of an alleged fake gold syndicate that cheated two traders by promising cheap pure gold deals.

The victims were taken to a Bhuleshwar location and asked to bring cash for “verification” before the gold delivery. Investigators said the accused had created a fake business setup where different gang members played specific roles — including counting cash, acting as syndicate representatives and pretending to coordinate gold delivery — to make the transaction appear genuine
