Ahmedabad: When Sagar Mehta borrowed Rs 25 lakh from a moneylender in Khodiyarnagar, he had no idea what kind of test he would face. The 31-year-old from Bopal claimed that despite returning Rs 85 lakh, moneylender’s goons kidnapped him, took him to different states, and forced him to work call centers There.
Nikol police detained Shubham Rajput, a resident of Ghorasar, on information about his involvement in the kidnapping.
Nikol Inspector VD Zala said Mehta had borrowed Rs 25 lakh from a loan shark from Khodiyarnagar, Rahul Chauhan, at 3% interest.
Mehta told the police, ‘I returned Rs 85 lakh. Nevertheless, the accused kidnapped me in March and took me to different states including Goa and Madhya Pradesh. I was tied to a chair and forced to work as a call center executive.”
Police said that apart from Shubham, Jitu Chauhan, Rahul Chauhan and Atul Rajput are also involved in the incident. They are absconding. Meanwhile, the police will arrest Shubham after taking Mehta’s statement.
Meanwhile, in another case, the Khokhra police have arrested four moneylenders – Gaurav Chauhan, Sharad Karade, Dalwarsinh Chauhan and Saurav Chauhan for their alleged involvement in an extortion case. Two others are absconding.
Police said complainant Ashish Doshi said that he had demanded money from his friend to pay the car loan installment. He told the police, “I had borrowed Rs 20,000 from these moneylenders. For delay in payment, a fine of Rs 500 for each day was imposed. Even though I had returned Rs 40,000, the accused harassed me for money. In all, the four accused took Rs 2 lakh from me.
The Khokhra police is probing whether the accused are involved in similar incidents in other police stations.
