Jammu and Kashmir Police have captured an associate of the Gujarat swindler Kiran Patel for making counterfeit visiting cards for Patel to trick authorities and regular people. Piyush, child of Kanti of Gujarat, was captured by the Kashmir Police from his print machine 'Akanksha Creation' in Ahmedabad. Piyush had made fake visiting cards for Patel who posed as an Additional Director (Strategy and Campaigns), Prime Minister’s Office, and duped officials and civilians in Jammu and Kashmir, a police officer told The Tribune. “Piyush has been arrested,” he said. On March 16, Patel (48) was arrested in Srinagar after he conned the J&K administration and acquired VVIP protocol and security while in Kashmir. On April 8, he was handed over to Ahmedabad Crime Branch in connection with a case of cheating registered against him by a former Gujarat minister’s brother Jagdish Chavda. Patel has allegedly grabbed his bungalow in a posh locality in Ahmedabad. On Monday, Patel was handed back to the Kashmir police by the Gujarat Police after completion of investigation into multiple fraud cases against him. Patel has been sent to Central Jail, Srinagar, as per the orders of a local authority. On Walk 28, Patel's significant other Malini Patel was arrested by the Gujarat Police regarding a deceiving case enrolled by Chavda.
