The arrested accused and the main suspect identified as Yatish Fichadiya was arrested by the police from Kalyan station Police officers presenting the recovered cash and diamonds The Bandra
Kurla Complex (BKC) police have arrested the mastermind conman who duped at least 25 diamond merchants to the tune of Rs 30 crore. The arrested accused and the main suspect identified as
Yatish Fichadiya was arrested by the police from Kalyan station and the cops claim that Rs 21 crores have been recovered and further recovery is in progress. Fichadiya had gone to Prayagraj
to take a holy dip at river Ganga for the ongoing Kumbh Mela occasion disguised as a priest. After touring across the country, when Fichadiya ran short of money, he decided to take a train
to Mumbai from Uttar Pradesh and the officers shadowing him later arrested him at Kalyan railway station. According to the BKC police, along with Fichadiya, more six accomplices have been
arrested in connection with the mega cheating case. Those other accused have been identified as Suresh Madheshiya (42), Kamil Qureshi (38), Ketan Parmar (38), Imran Khan (35), Vishal Mohan
Shrivastava and Raj Mansuri (30). While most of the accused are said to be residents of Virar, few are also Kandivali residents. As reported by DNA on December 25, 2018, Fichadiya who is a
diamond broker was working for the diamond market since last eight years and after gaining the confidence of all his known diamond traders, he managed to gather diamonds from them, claiming
that he would help them sell the diamonds and would also fetch a profitable price for the same. "Since the last three months, Fichadiya was planning the entire plot and he also involved
the other accused. On December 11, 2018, Fichadiya managed to secure the diamonds from the traders and all of a sudden, he went missing. His contact details went unreachable and all efforts
to reach him went in vain. The traders knew him very well so they never suspected him and after the FIR was lodged, the case was taken up with priority and search for Fichadiya and another
accomplice was intensified. Based on the preliminary investigation, Fichadiya from Mumbai went to Ajmer, Rajasthan, Delhi, Chandigarh, Shimla, Vrindavan, Agra, Lucknow, Bihar, Odisha,
Bhubaneshwar, Vishakhapattanam and Hyderabad where he was staying in disguise." said Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone 8, Anil Kumbhare. "Fichadiya had also planned what legal
methods he could use to play against the law and escape from police arrest and he was also consulting a lawyer frequently in order to get away easily out of radar. The total amount of
diamond stolen was big so all the diamond traders and brokers across India and especially Surat were put on alert to refrain from buying any of the valuables which Fichadiya was carrying.
This was the real reason why a very small proportion of the valuables were only disposed of. CASE FILE * Yatish Fichadiya was arrested by the police from Kalyan station and the cops claim
