The court reserved the bail order of Vinod Verma, the coowner of jewellery showroom, Forever Diamonds for Tuesday. A case of cheating was registered against the owners of Forever Diamonds, Rajneesh Verma and Vinod Verma on Saturday, for allegedly stage-managing a ‘loot’ of jewellery valued at Rs 14 crore.
Verma in the anticipatory bail plea had blamed the local police for harassing him and his family. He further alleged that police was pressurising the showroom’s staff.
Claiming to be innocent, he had averred that police instead of tracing the robbers has wrongly implicated him in the case. However, Rajneesh Verma is yet to be arrested. Police had alleged that Shivani, Vaibhav Verma, Ankur Jolly were roped in by the jewellery store owners to play robbers’ role.
