A real estate developer's visit to the CID (Crime) office in Gandhinagar has led to an FIR against a man who allegedly posed as a police inspector and repeatedly threatened the developer in an attempt to pressure him into settling a business dispute.
How the Dispute Began
Katargam police registered the case against Tarun Parmar following a complaint from real estate developer Dhaval Vavadiya. According to the complaint, Vavadiya's family members, Vijay Vavadiya and Jayesh Gehani, had formed a partnership called Cosmo Gems LLP with Ahmedabad-based Uday Odedara and his father, Raja Odedara. The venture was intended to manufacture CVD diamond machines, but it never quite took off and was eventually dissolved on March 31, 2026.
This is exactly the kind of situation where sound business advisory guidance becomes genuinely valuable — when a partnership dissolves and money is owed between partners, having proper professional support to navigate the settlement process through legitimate legal channels can help avoid the kind of messy, escalating conflict that unfolded in this case.
The FIR states that the Odedara family owed money to the Vavadiya family and had promised to repay it in June. When the payment allegedly failed to materialise, the Vavadiya family reportedly followed up repeatedly with reminders, trying to recover what they were owed.
The Alleged Impersonation
On August 5, Parmar allegedly called Vavadiya and threatened him over his repeated calls to Uday and Raja Odedara. He allegedly identified himself as a police inspector with CID (Crime) in Gandhinagar and threatened to register a case against Vavadiya — while simultaneously pressuring him to settle the dispute.
According to the complaint, Parmar called Vavadiya frequently, repeatedly threatening him with legal action. He also allegedly summoned him to Gandhinagar, continuing to claim he was a serving CID (Crime) officer throughout these interactions.
The Developer Investigates — And Finds No Such Officer
Vavadiya travelled to Gandhinagar on August 7 and called Parmar to arrange a meeting, but Parmar reportedly told him he was out of town. Growing suspicious of the caller's claims, Vavadiya decided to visit the CID (Crime) office directly and make inquiries. Officers there confirmed that no police inspector named Tarun Parmar was serving with the department — a clear sign something wasn't right.
Vavadiya later met Raja Odedara at his Ahmedabad residence and asked whether any police complaint had actually been filed in connection with their dispute. Odedara denied lodging any such complaint, which prompted Vavadiya to approach Katargam police himself.
FIR Registered for Impersonation and Threats
Based on Vavadiya's complaint, Katargam police registered an FIR against Parmar for allegedly impersonating a public servant and issuing threats. The allegations centre on claims that Parmar falsely presented himself as a CID (Crime) inspector and used this fabricated police identity to pressure the developer over what was, at its core, a private business dispute. Police have now begun further investigation into the case.
