Vinod Kumar Jain’s jewellery shop in Tiruvallur city is cheated and snatched from the jewellery. That’s how the editor of the magazine himself said that a ring kept in this jewelry shop should be trusted and the receipt should be kept with them. The editor of the magazine asked Ashok Kumar Jain to retrieve the jewellery within a year.
He searched for an hour and said that there was no jewelry here. Then, a few days ago, Ashok Kumar Jain called the editor of the newspaper. Your jewellery is up for auction. He says you can come and get it back. Okay, he went to him and said, When I came and asked you about this two years ago, you said there was no jewel.
The phone number I know now, I don’t know the number then? You searched for an hour and said no. Apart from this, you asked him if you were 11 months old and you sent it home, why didn’t you send it? And he says we sent the mail and the return has arrived. I mean, it’s back, he says. I said I get a magazine from Delhi month after month. Won’t the letter come from Tiruvallur to Vidayur? He couldn’t give a proper answer.
And, okay, I’ll redeem this jewel. Ashok Kumar pays Rs 12,000 for the principal interest of Rs 11,000. I said, the fault is too much on you. It’s okay if I don’t come and ask. A jewel placed in the name of faith. Then people who know me know about me and that’s why I came and asked if the jewellery was kept with you. You said you didn’t put it at all. If I had recovered in a year, I would have got an extra Rs 2,000 or Rs 3,000.
But they ask for interest on top of the principal. Ashok Kumar says that the current value of the jewellery is Rs 28,000. I was embarrassed in a way. We put jewelry on for an emergency. But even if it comes to restoring it, you have said no. Then, three years later, he calls to say that the jewellery is up for auction. Besides, I am asking why even this auction notice should have been sent every 11 months and that too was not sent. He said, “We will send a demand notice only when we have a demand. He says. Does the law say that if he keeps jewellery in a moneylender, he should not make any notice to the customers until it is up for auction?
Also, after 11 months, the letter comes to the customer’s house asking to pay interest. Or a phone call. If you give money to the post office, they get a return as if all these letters were sent. On the one hand, the post office is complicit in their fraud. Also, even if he gives a notice of bidding, he should send it by registered post as per the law. It didn’t either. “We don’t have such a law,” he says. Apart from all this, I will redeem the jewel according to my conscience. If I took Rs 18,000, he said no.
If so much fraud is done for an ordinary small piece of jewellery, why don’t they cheat the common people if they keep thousands and lakhs of jewellery? Moreover, if he is cheating journalists like me, how many ordinary people are there?
Therefore, the Tiruvallur District Revenue Officer should take action and cancel their jewellery shop license. I will file a complaint in person and in person. And how many people are affected by them? Vinod Kumar Jain Jewellers can lodge a complaint with any victim on complaint number: 9344794091.
