To apprehend an accused involved in a multi-crore fraud by preparing fake land documents in Jaipur, the Commissionerate Police had to travel approximately 4000 kilometers across various states. After extensive tracking, the police arrested the main accused, Lavish Jain, from Bengaluru, while other accused individuals are still at large.
Rajasthan: Jaipur Commissionerate Police have arrested Lavish Jain, an accused involved in a multi-crore land fraud using fake documents, from Bengaluru. In this case, a report was filed on September 18 by the victim, Ankit Kumawat, a resident of Muhana. The report stated that Lavish Jain, Rakhi Jain, and Ashish Jain, operating under the name of Ajmera Properties, collectively took a total of 82 lakh rupees from him through online transfers and cash, by showing him a piece of land near Lakhana Road Toll and promising investment opportunities and plots.
Later, the victim discovered that the land shown belonged to someone else and the documents were fake. Following the complaint, the police traced the accused's location across various states and arrested him from Bengaluru after a chase process spanning approximately 4000 km. Police are now searching for other absconding accused involved in this fraud.
Accused Tracked and Arrested in Bengaluru
The absconding accused, Lavish Jain, in the multi-crore land fraud case registered at Muhana police station, was constantly changing his air routes in an attempt to evade the police. Tracing his location, police teams reached Patna, Kullu-Manali, Varanasi, and then Bengaluru. Finally, he was arrested from his female friend's flat in a society approximately 50 kilometers from Bengaluru. The accused was presented in court and received a three-day police remand. Cases are registered against him in Muhana and Chitrakoot police stations. Constable Omprakash Dobar played a crucial role in the arrest.
Location Changed Across Several States
As soon as the land fraud case was registered, the accused Lavish Jain continuously changed cities. Preliminary police investigation revealed that during his evasion, he stayed at various hideouts in Patna, Kullu-Manali, and Varanasi. Due to frequent changes in location, it became challenging for the team to monitor his activities.
Despite his continuous attempts to change travel patterns and conceal his mobile location, the police gathered several technical inputs related to his movements. The team thoroughly investigated his potential contacts in each city and continued the pursuit by estimating his direction of travel.
Arrest from Female Friend's Flat in Bengaluru
During the investigation, police received confidential information that Lavish Jain was staying in a society in the outskirts of Bengaluru. The team intensified local surveillance, identified the suspicious flat, and raided it. The flat was identified as belonging to the accused's female friend, from where he was arrested late at night.
After taking the accused into custody, he was brought to Jaipur and presented in court, where he was granted a three-day police remand. Cases of fraud are registered against Lavish in Muhana and Chitrakoot police stations, while the police are now also searching for his other associates.
