Diamonds Worth Rs 3 Crore Stolen from Gujarat Merchant: Borivali Police Register Case Against Accused
Mumbai: A case involving the theft of diamonds worth Rs 3 crore from a diamond merchant in Gujarat has come to light. The Borivali police have registered a case against Vikram Sanghavi for allegedly cheating. The accused is currently absconding, and the police are actively searching for him.
About The Case
According to the police, the complainant, Sheel Kordia, 21, a resident of Surat, Gujarat, runs a diamond trading business inherited from his ancestors under the name Lesing Diamond Company. Kordia frequently travels to different cities for business purposes.
Chaitanya Mehta, who resides in Mumbai, is a regular customer of Kordia and has purchased diamonds from him several times in the past. In September 2025, Mehta placed an order for diamond jewellery weighing 666.65 carats, valued at Rs 3 crore, with Kordia.
Mehta then sent his acquaintances, Jimit and Rakin, to Navsari, Gujarat, to collect the diamonds. On September 6, Jimit and Rakin visited Kordia’s company and obtained the diamonds as per the order.
Meanwhile, Mehta instructed Vikram Sanghavi to transport the diamonds to Mumbai. Following this, Jimit and Rakin handed over the diamonds to Sanghavi at Navsari railway station. However, during the transit, Sanghavi allegedly misappropriated the diamonds and failed to deliver them to Mumbai.
Following the incident, Sheel Kordia filed a complaint at Borivali Police Station. Based on the complaint, the police registered a case against Vikram Sanghavi under Sections 316(2) and 316(3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for embezzlement of diamonds.
The Borivali police are currently investigating the case and searching for the accused.
