Two individuals were apprehended by BKC police on suspicion of collusion with Mehul Zaveri, a Juhu-based diamond broker arrested for defrauding diamond traders. Police suspect the extent of fraud could be much larger. “He has swindled diamonds worth Rs 7.50 crore, we suspect that the amount would increase if people come forward,” said an officer on condition of anonymity.

“On Sunday, we arrested two alleged accused as we suspect that they helped Zaveri. We are yet to recover the diamonds. Further investigation is underway to determine if anyone else is involved in the case,” said an officer. As per the police, the location of the arrest has been kept secret and the arrest had been made in a secretive manner as they suspect that the trio have the diamonds in their possession.
