A friendship allegedly turned into a case of cheating in Ahmedabad’s Nikol area after a builder accused his friend of taking his ₹37.98 lakh Toyota Fortuner for a month and failing to return it, allegedly making repeated excuses about the vehicle being taken out of town.
Vikas Kamani, a Nikol-based builder, has lodged a complaint against his friend, Mohit Ashokkumar Ludhani, at the Nikol police station, alleging cheating and criminal breach of trust.
According to the complaint, the two had executed a notarised agreement on ₹300 stamp paper when Kamani handed over the vehicle. Police have registered a case and initiated an investigation.
Fortuner Taken for One Month, Builder Alleges
Kamani had recently purchased the Fortuner, valued at ₹37.98 lakh. On August 3, Ludhani allegedly approached him seeking the vehicle for one month, citing personal work.
Kamani agreed to lend the car to his friend, but the vehicle was not returned after the agreed period, according to the complaint.
When Kamani repeatedly asked for its return, Ludhani allegedly claimed that he had lent the car for a function at a relative’s place. He later reportedly said the vehicle had been taken on a trip to Delhi.
Notarised Agreement Executed on ₹300 Stamp Paper
As the weeks passed without the Fortuner being returned, Kamani allegedly grew suspicious of his friend’s explanations and concluded that he had been cheated.
The complainant cited the notarised agreement executed on ₹300 stamp paper when the vehicle was handed over as evidence in the matter.
He subsequently approached the Nikol police, accusing Ludhani of cheating him and misappropriating the vehicle.
Nikol Police Begin Investigation
The Nikol police have registered a case based on Kamani’s complaint and launched an investigation into the alleged fraud.
The vehicle’s whereabouts and the circumstances surrounding its non-return remain central to the investigation. The allegations against Ludhani have not yet been established in court.
