The Borivli police have arrested a 47-year-old man based on a complaint filed by a diamond merchant from Gujarat who accused him of embezzlement. The accused, Vikram Vasantbhai Sanghvi, is a resident of Navsari in Gujarat and works for a diamond trader in Gujarat. According to the complainant, Shil Vipulbhai Koradia, 21, a Surat-based diamond trader, the accused was supposed to deliver a parcel of diamonds worth Rs 3 crore from Gujarat to a merchant in Mumbai.

According to Karodia, his associates had handed over the parcel to Sanghvi at Navsari railway station for delivery. However, upon reaching Borivli, the packet in which the diamonds were kept was missing. On September 5, Sanghvi travelled on the Vande Bharat train and alighted at Borivli station, holding a carry bag, police said. “After stepping out of the station, he went to a shop to buy a cigarette. While taking out his wallet from the bag, he realised that the packet in which the diamonds were kept was missing. He searched the bag but couldn’t find it,” said an officer.
