The cops at Navghar police station have arrested a 38-year-old for allegedly stealing golden ornaments worth Rs 4 lakh after ensuring a family of doubling it within 90 days. Rajendra Chavhan had visited a house in Mulund and claimed that he possesses a magical power through which he can double money or gold. The family fell for his claims and had given Chavhan their golden ornaments with which he fled.

In November 2019, a 42-year-old housewife approached Chavhan who identified himself as baba and claimed he has magical powers. "At first when he visited the complainants’ place, he did some tricks such as turning blank paper into 500 rupee note or converting plastic bangle into golden one," said an officer from Navghar police station.
