A 46-year-old caterer from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/gujarat-all" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gujarat</a>&nbsp;was duped of Rs 4.75 lakh by an acquaintance who he had met through a relative.
In his complaint, Radheshyam Joshi reveals that he met the accused through a relative during a trip in October. In November, he received a call from the accused who asked him to come to Kalupur railway station in Ahmedabad as he was in need of money.
The accused then sold Joshi a gold ring worth Rs. 3000 which was real, reports&nbsp;<a href="https://ahmedabadmirror.indiatimes.com/ahmedabad/crime/blinded-by-fake-gold-caterer-loses-rs-4-75l/articleshow/79928552.cms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ahmedabad Mirror</a>.
With trust established, the accused called Joshi to Kalupur station on Monday again and offered him a scheme to acquire gold worth Rs 9 lakh in only Rs 5 lakh. Joshi agreed and reached the station with Rs. 4.75 lakh. He handed over the money to the accused and took a package in return.
Joshi was instructed not to open the package in the station since it was crowded. Once home, Joshi was shocked to see a bag full of papers in the package. With no way to contact the accused, Joshi filed a complaint at Kalupur police station.
