The BKC police station filed an FIR against Mehul Zaveri, a diamond broker from Juhu, who is accused of embezzling Rs 7.50 crore from Mumbai-based jewellers. The complaint was lodged a week after the jewellers reported the incident. Simultaneously, a jeweller in Delhi lodged a complaint with the Karol Bagh police station against Mehul Zaveri, and the local authorities are waiting for Mumbai police's response before taking further action. A source revealed, “Mehul reportedly deceived the jeweller in Delhi by gaining trust and acquiring diamonds valued at Rs 5 crore. Subsequently, he went incommunicado, leaving the jeweller in distress.

“The jewellers were hesitant to approach the police station as he is a well-known broker and his father is also in the same business. They were in a state of shock, as he had committed fraud. However, when his phone was switched off, the family claimed that they were unaware of Mehul's whereabouts, they came forward to record statements,” the source added.
