Rajkot Crime Branch has taken up Rajendrasinh Bhupatsinh Padhiyar (U.S. 33) along with 3 cars worth 8 lakhs and is conducting further investigation to see if he has committed any other fraud.

Paying more than the original price
According to the police, if any person advertised to sell his car on Facebook, the accused Rajendra Singh would contact him.

On receiving information about this, the crime branch arrested the accused. The crime branch has also seized three fraudulently obtained cars from him. Also, the crime branch has requested people that while selling a car through an app, instead of directly relying on the customer, get proper proof, get the necessary documents written, and then sell the car.
