The complainant, a jeweller from Kamote, has alleged that he had given Sisodia 3.8 kg of gold worth INR 1.9 crore for making jewellery last year in October. The accused later claimed that the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) had raided his shop, he said.
The official said, the complainant conducted inquiries and found out that no such raid had taken place. When the complainant asked Sisodia to return his gold, the latter gave him unrealistic replies, following which he decided to approach the police, he said, adding that no arrest had been made in the case so far.
