The Gujarat Police on Friday arrested a Sadhvi along with three accomplices in a cheating case of Rs 5.2 crore and also recovered from her Rs 1.29 crore in cash, besides gold bars and bottles of Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL). Sadhvi Jayshree Giri and her three accomplices were arrested from Palanpur in north Gujarat’s Banaskantha district. The arrest followed a police complaint by a local jeweller Pritesh Shah that he had in November given the Sadhvi and her associates gold ornaments worth Rs 5.2 crore on loan. “We have registered complaints against three persons and arrested the kingpin Sadhvi Jayshree Giri,” he said. Repors on local media on Friday linked the sadhvi to several serious crimes in the past, including murder and carrying arms.
