Constable accused of fraud fakes illness to evade grilling
A 52-year-old constable accused of cheating a jeweller has managed to evade police questioning by adopting the time-tested formula of
getting admitted to hospital by feigning illness.
On three occasions in the past one month when Milind Salvi was brought to the court, he claimed to be suffering from chest pain and thus escaped from being sent to the police lock-up. The police also wanted to question Salvi as the jeweller's son had gone missing ever since the jeweller began demanding his money back. The court has now ordered a medical examination of Salvi by the JJ Hospital.
Salvi, attached to the local arms unit, had promised Mukesh Choridia, owner of Parasmal Jewellers, Mohili Village, Saki Naka, that he would get gold at throwaway prices from a consignment seized by the customs department.
Mukesh's father Parasmal told TOI, "Salvi approached my son through a common friend, Uttam Vagare, in March 2007 and made this offer. My son was new in the trade and did not realise that he was getting duped.''
Over a period of one year Mukesh paid Salvi Rs 22 lakh. Parasmal said it was too late when his son learnt about the fraud in April 2008. "We approached Salvi on July 4 demanding the money. He then had told us that he would pay it back only if they can bring Vagare to him, in whose presence, the deal was struck.''
However, a day or two after the meeting, Mukesh went missing. On a complaint by Parasmal, the Saki Naka police arrested Salvi from his Kharghar residence in October. The police said if they get Salvi's custody, it will help them gather clues about Mukesh's whereabouts.
Parasmal said Vagare was not traceable and the police learnt that Salvi had paid Vagare Rs 10,000 and sent him to Kharad, asking him to stay away from Mumbai.
Sub-inspector Vinay Ghorpade said, "On all three occasions__October 10, October 16 and October 20__Salvi said that he was suffering from severe chest pain in front of the court. Due to this, he was sent to judicial custody and not police custody.''
Ghorpade said that on October 10, Salvi was admitted to Rajawadi hospital when he complained of chest pain. He submitted a medical report procured from a private hospital in Navi Mumbai which mentioned that he had a heart blockage. "Doubting the authenticity of the certificate, we consulted some doctors who refuted the claim,'' a police officer said.
Senior inspector Yashwant Vatkar said, "Doctors said the certificate was forged and there was no signature of the head of department on it.''
"The court has now ordered that Salvi's medical examination be conducted at JJ hospital and supervised by a panel of senior doctors,'' said Vatkar.
The police claimed that Salvi has cheated several people. He was arrested by the Sahar airport police in 2007 in a cheating case. In the second case, he allegedly duped the daughter of a former assistant commissioner of police to the tune of Rs 5 lakh. Shradha Sawant, the ACP's daughter, said she met Salvi and his family in 2005 through a neighbour. He frequently visited my house and asked for Rs 5 lakh to buy a flat. They promised to return it in a week's time, but always came up with excuses.''
