The accused had contacted Thakkar to buy gold and fixed a price of Rs 1.60 crore, which was to be paid in cash at his Angadiya office on CG Road. Thakkar’s employees reached the office on September 24, where three people were already present with a cash counting machine. Two of them collected gold and handed over bundles of Rs 500 notes. After this, they left with the gold on the pretext of bringing the remaining Rs 30 lakh from the adjacent office.
