Rajkot News: A gang of habitual criminals has been unearthed in Gondal town, who systematically extort extortion by intimidating traders. The firm of a prominent Gondal trader dealing in cotton has been accused of being involved in the GST scam on social media, defaming it and threatening to kill it to the tune of Rs. Sensational details have come to light that an amount of 21 lakhs has been seized. In this regard, Gondal City B Division Police Station has registered a case against four persons under various sections and arrested three including Piyush Raddia of the War E Kalyan Group.
According to the information, Mehulbhai Bharatbhai Raiyani, a trader living in Choksi Nagar, Gondal and running a cotton business in the name of ‘Jasvi Trading’ near the new marketing yard, has filed a complaint against Hitesh Sakaria (Rest. Mota Bhadra), Piyush Raddia (Rest. Gondal), Bhautik Boghra (Rest. Charkhadi) and an unidentified person wearing a black coat. According to the complaint, a pre-planned conspiracy was hatched about three months ago to extort money from the businessman. Accused Bhautik Boghra got the confidential information of the complainant’s firm and gave it to another accused Hitesh Sakaria.
Hitesh Sakaria posted a fake application on his Facebook ID, falsely alleging that other firms, including the complainant’s firm, were involved in bogus billing and tax evasion of crores of rupees. After seeing this post on social media, the panicked businessman contacted Gondal’s own Piyush Raddia. Piyush Raddia took advantage of the matter and threatened to implicate the businessman in the police and GST department and destroy the business. The businessman was then summoned in person near the Gondal Court, where men like Piyush Raddia, Hitesh Sakaria and an unidentified lawyer in a black coat met with the businessman initially demanding Rs. 30 lakhs was demanded.
Finally Rs. 21 lakhs was decided to be given and if he told anyone about this, he was threatened that he would not be able to stand on his feet for the rest of his life. The frightened businessman brought Rs 21 lakh in the deck of his Activa motorcycle and gave it to the XUV car of the accused.
