Tomar had been absconding since 2016, when a case was first registered against him at Kapodra police station, his first criminal offence, prompting the court to issue a warrant under CRPC Section 70.According to police, the complainant, Dharmesh Ramani, a labour contractor from Lakshminarayan Society in Surat’s Kapodra area, was lured into a trap by Tomar, who claimed that his friend had discovered gold during an excavation in Bhuj, Kutch.To win Ramani’s trust, Tomar first gave him a sample of real gold and then convinced him to hand over Rs 9 lakh in exchange for one kilogram of what turned out to be fake yellow metal biscuits.Tomar fled immediately after the deal, vanishing without a trace, until Crime Branch sleuths followed fresh leads to Andharkas village and confirmed his identity.He has now been handed over to Kapodra police for further legal action. The accused faces charges of criminal breach of trust, cheating, and criminal conspiracy. Meanwhile, police have launched a probe to identify and apprehend his accomplices involved in the racket.
