Jewellery Shop Owner in Jaipur Dupes US National, Selling Fake Jewellery for ₹6 Crore

A US national fell victim to a fraudulent jewelry purchase in Jaipur, losing a staggering ₹6 crore to a local shop owner. The swindler, Rajendra Soni, and his son, Gaurav, sold the American tourist gold-coated silver jewelry, passing it off as authentic and providing a forged certificate. The truth was unraveled when the victim showcased the ornaments in the US, prompting her to confront the shop owners and file a complaint. However, the owners falsely accused the victim, leading to an impasse until the intervention of the US Embassy. Upon investigation, the police discovered that the original complaint had been ignored, and the accused individuals had absconded after purchasing a ₹3 crore apartment. The fraudulent certificate issuer, Nand Kishore, has been apprehended, but the shop owners remain at large.
