The Unbelievable Betrayal: Son Forges Mother's Death Certificate for Property Grab

In a deeply disturbing incident that has sent shockwaves through the community, an Ahmedabad man has been apprehended for an act of betrayal so profound it defies belief: he allegedly forged his own mother’s death certificate in a callous attempt to seize her property, even though his mother is very much alive.

The accused, identified as 42-year-old Bhargav Patel, found himself in the custody of the Ahmedabad Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) following a meticulous investigation into his audacious scheme.

The elaborate fraud came to light when his younger brother, Hiren Patel, lodged a complaint after discovering the existence of the fabricated document and his brother's sinister intentions.

According to police reports, Bhargav Patel orchestrated this heinous plan in 2021. At the time, his 69-year-old mother, Induben Patel, was living with him in Ahmedabad after they had moved from Anand.

While seemingly providing care, Bhargav was secretly plotting to declare her deceased on paper to gain control of her valuable assets.

The intricate details of the forgery reveal a chilling level of premeditation. Bhargav is accused of creating a counterfeit death certificate, complete with a forged rubber stamp and the simulated signature of a medical professional.

This meticulously crafted document was then intended to be used as proof of his mother’s demise, paving the way for him to unlawfully transfer her property into his name.

The turning point arrived when Hiren Patel, who lives separately and whose mother, Induben, now resides with him, became aware of his elder brother’s nefarious activities.

Upon learning that Bhargav had produced a death certificate for their still-living mother, Hiren immediately approached the authorities, unwilling to let such a egregious act of fraud and betrayal go unpunished.

The Ahmedabad DCB acted swiftly on the complaint. Their investigation corroborated the claims, leading to Bhargav Patel’s arrest.

This case stands as a stark reminder of how far some individuals are willing to go for financial gain, even at the cost of severing the most sacred family bonds. The mother, Induben Patel, remains alive and well, a living testament to the shocking depths of her son's deception.
