He gave away cheques worth 78 lakhs while he had only 113 Rs. In his account. Must be good at whatever he was doing. He always got away but not this time.”

According to news reports attached to this tweet, in August 2019, the same Kiran Patel and his associate Dipesh Sheth were arrested by the Raopura police of Vadodara. He was accused of cheating a sub-contractor of Rs 1 crore at the Kalanagari Garba Mahotsav 2018 at Navlakhi Garba Ground.
It was also alleged that Kiran Patel used to get his work done by pretending that he knew big leaders and also got VIP treatment at the police station. But the list of frauds committed by Kiran Patel does not end here. Twitter user @keetliwado has created and put up an entire thread of all his fraud cases. It is also alleged that Kiran Patel attempted fraud of lakhs of rupees by telling people that he has to give a car to the Vadtal Swaminarayan sect.

In 2019, Kiran Patel and his brother Manish Patel approached retired DYSP NK Parmar in Naroda. Patel duped the retired officer of lakhs of rupees as he schemed him saying that he wants to give a car to the Vadtal Swaminarayan temple.

Both these brothers have cheated the farmers in the past. Lakhs of rupees of poor farmers were spent on the pretext of giving good returns by investing money taken from these farmers in good schemes.
આવા ચીટરો સોશિયલ મીડિયાના માધ્યમથી હવે ધાર્મિક વાતો કરીને અથવા રાજકીય ક્ષેત્રે આગળ પડતો હોવાનું કહીને લોકોને છેતરવાના નવા નવા નુસખા આચરી રહ્યા છે. આવા લોકોની વાતોમાં આવીને કોઈપણ પ્રકારની સ્કીમમાં રૂપિયાની લેતી દેતી કરવી નહીં. pic.twitter.com/da0WmOERHk

When the farmers demanded the money back, the conman Kiran Patel threatened them with an FIR by senior police officers. During this time, he also made the farmers talk to many big police officers.

Kiran Patel used to cheat people by showing them his photos with various big leaders. Sometimes he used to say that he works for the then Home Minister Jitu Vaghani and sometimes he would say that he is the PA of RSS official Sanjay Joshi. In this way, many cases of cheating by thug Kiran Patel are coming to light on social media.
Kiran Patel was detained in Srinagar on March 3, 2023, for impersonating a prominent official in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and meeting with key authorities in the Union territory. An FIR lodged in the Nishat police station in Srinagar mentions that the accused conman ‘indulged in activities within the jurisdiction of this police station and other parts of the Kashmir Valley’. He was also given official hospitality, a personal security officer (PSO), and a room in a posh hotel.
