An explosive revelation shaking the Ahmedabad Police Commissioner’s office: The unchecked ‘Dark Empire’ of PI H.R. Vaghela and alleged administrator Dhaval Jani in Kalupur!*
Daily Report Series: The Kalupur Syndicate – Part 2 (Exclusive Exposé)
Fear of the Uniform or a Gang of Criminals? The dismal state of law and order in Kalupur
In the heart of Ahmedabad city, specifically the Kalupur area, where commerce and employment usually bustle amidst heavy crowds, law and order has completely collapsed. The jurisdiction of Kalupur Police Station is no longer just a commercial center; it has become a primary hub for crime, antisocial elements, drug trafficking, and an illegal financial empire.
The duo of Kalupur Police Station’s PI H.R. Vaghela and his alleged special administrator, Dhaval Jani, have established such an organized network under the guise of the ‘Khaki’ uniform that even the city’s Police Commissioner and police force are feeling the pressure.
Local merchants and citizens have repeatedly complained about this syndicate to PI Vaghela, both in writing and verbally, but surprisingly, no action is taken. On the contrary, rumors are gaining strength that pressure is being indirectly exerted on the complainants.
A poisonous business ranging from domestic/foreign liquor and Worli Matka to MD Drugs
In the narrow lanes of Kalupur, domestic and foreign liquor dens are operating without any fear. Not only this, those running the Worli Matka (gambling) numbers business are sitting openly with tables set up.
The most serious and concerning issue is that the toxic MD Drugs, which are destroying the younger generation, are easily available in Kalupur’s alleys. This entire black business is operated by collecting lakhs of rupees daily in “installments” (protection money).
Under PI H.R. Vaghela’s patronage, this alleged administrator named Dhaval Jani runs his tyranny throughout the area, where Dhaval Jani visibly wields more power than the police station itself.
The ‘Installment’ Rule on unbilled Chinese imported goods and the mobile market
The Kalupur and Relief Road areas are known across Gujarat for electronics and mobile phones. According to highly shocking information received from sources, Dhaval Jani has a direct grip on the illegal businesses running in Kalupur:
Illegal trade of Chinese goods:* Monthly, lakhs of rupees in installments are extorted from merchants selling unbilled electronic goods imported from China.
Unbilled mobile phones:* A fixed monthly commission has been levied on brokers and merchants selling unbilled Chinese mobiles and stolen smartphones.
Crores in undisclosed property:* There is a serious allegation that administrator Dhaval Jani has become a millionaire in a very short time and has amassed unaccounted-for benami (undisclosed) property due to this black trade.
A safe haven for match bookies: ‘Dhaval Jani’s high-level connections (settings).
The Kalupur Police Station area has become the ‘safest haven’ in the entire state for cricket match bookies and gamblers. An established bookie, speaking on condition of anonymity, said:
“No agency raids the betting shops operating in the Kalupur station area. Dhaval Jani’s ‘settings’ go all the way to the top level. The absence of raids by any agency is proof of how strong the influence of Dhaval Jani and PI Vaghela is.”
A mockery of Home Minister Harsh Sanghvi’s ‘Zero Tolerance’ claim and the silence of Special Squads
Gujarat State Home Minister Harsh Sanghvi frequently announces a ‘zero tolerance’ policy against drugs, liquor, and antisocial activities. Yet, in Kalupur, PI Vaghela and Dhaval Jani’s black empire directly challenges the Home Minister’s directives and the rule of law.
The biggest question arises: Why are Ahmedabad city’s vigilant special agencies, such as the Vigilance Wing, PCB, DCP Squad, and Crime Branch, remaining indifferent even after witnessing this daily illegal trade worth lakhs of rupees in Kalupur? Does the effect of this trade reach these agencies as well, or is Dhaval Jani’s reach above these agencies?
Public demand before the Police Commissioner
The conscious citizens of Ahmedabad and the harassed merchants of Kalupur are now expecting justice directly from the Ahmedabad City Police Commissioner. Unless a high-level investigation committee is immediately formed in this matter, PI H.R. Vaghela is transferred or suspended, and an ED (Enforcement Directorate) or IT (Income Tax) probe is ordered into administrator Dhaval Jani’s properties, ‘Mahanagar Metro’ will continue to bring more evidence of this black empire before the public.
