The accused approached two doctors working in Axon hospital, Dr Vinay Kumar Reddy and Dr D Rajeev, promising them 70 percent share in the new hospital as well as a share of profits for an investment of Rs 1 crore. Further to this one of the conmen, also coaxed the doctors to open bank accounts in different banks, forcible obtaining their cheque books and promissory notes, trying to take bank loans with fraudulent means. These conmen then prepared fake agreements of sale, stamp papers to the same effect.

Not only this, these conmen also collected original educational certificates of both the doctors with the pretence that the hospital will be run under their names. The accused also took the gold ornaments of the doctors and others, using them to obtain further bank loans.
