In a major breakthrough in the Ashok Jadeja case, CID on Friday seized an important register of the conman from one of his aides.
According to police sources, the register contains transaction details worth crores of rupees and will throw more light on the modus operandi of the homoeopath-turned-Godman. The cops also recovered jewellery worth Rs11 lakh from the residence of Manohar Mangilal, an aide of Jadeja and ornaments worth Rs3.50 lakh from Shaitansinh, another close associate of Jadeja.
The cops said more than 40,000 people were trapped by Jadeja in the money scam. After initial probe, police have come to the conclusion that Manbai is not the mastermind of the scam. “During the investigation, we found that Manbai, aunty of Jadeja, had not scripted the scam. It appears that Ashok Jadeja and his nephew collectively masterminded and gave shape to the multi-crore scam,” said investigation officer RK Patel.
“The register confiscated by us contains transactions worth over Rs300 crore. It has details about money collected by the agents of Jadeja. We have earlier recovered a diary containing 400 entries,” he said.
Four-day police remand for Manbai Conman Ashok Jadeja's aunt Manbai Chhara was sent to four-day police remand by the Ahmedabad (rural) court here on Friday. Ten of the relatives arrested by the CID (Crime) were also sent to four-day police remand. The investigating agency told the court that Manbai, who allegedly aided Jadeja in the scam, was present in functions organised by Jadeja's followers in different parts of Gujarat and in Barmer in Rajasthan.
