A Surat man, Jignesh Talaviya, has been apprehended after allegedly staging his own kidnapping. He reportedly sent a ransom message to his wife, demanding ₹50 lakh to settle share market losses.

Utran police successfully traced him to a hotel in Godhra, leading to his arrest for misleading authorities and fabricating evidence. Talaviya, an accountant, had been missing since June 12.
