Bandra Crime Branch Nabs Two For Framing Jeweler with Weapons at Chira Bazar Shop

Chira Bazar, Mumbai: In a shocking turn of events, the Bandra Crime Branch has arrested two individuals involved in a scheme to frame a jeweler by planting weapons at his shop in Chira Bazar. Ketan Manish Parikh, an employee at the jewelry shop, along with his accomplice Niranjan Sudarshan Gupta, was caught in connection with the crime.

Police recovered a locally-made pistol, a magazine, nine live cartridges, and three mobile phones from the suspects, who intended to falsely implicate 67-year-old jeweler Kiranraj Munnalalji Shah. The duo was arrested, and both were remanded into police custody until December 30 by the court.

Senior Police Inspector Daya Nayak led the operation, after receiving vital information about the plot. Officers conducted surveillance in plain clothes in the Chira Bazar area, eventually raiding the shop and recovering the concealed weapons.

Interrogation revealed that Gupta had supplied the arms, and Parikh had orchestrated the plot to frame his employer with a false charge. The police have registered a case under illegal possession of weapons, while further investigations continue.
