The metal scrap dealer from Odhav, Ahmedabad, has been arrested for generating bogus bills and charging a 1% commission.

The mastermind behind the scam was also arrested by the police, and Chavda’s involvement became apparent during the investigation.

Following the revelation of the scam, Chavda was arrested by the police and sent to one-day remand.
