The Alwar police station in Khairthal‑Tijara district reported that a gang had been selling counterfeit gold bricks to the Jaunri community, siphoning off millions of rupees.
Investigators traced the operation to a network that used the appearance of genuine gold to lure buyers, who later discovered the bricks were fabricated.

Police spokespersons said the arrests were part of a broader crackdown on fraudulent gold sales and that further investigations are underway to identify additional victims.
