"On July 4, 2022, I gave Rs 2.5 lakh in cash to Abhishek in Sector 14, Gurugram. After this, Abhishek introduced me to Siddhant and his younger brother Vastav Chaudhary, who were supposed to help me pass the exam," he said in his complaint, according to police.
"In January 2023, I transferred Rs 7 lakh more to Abhishek's account and gave him Rs 3 lakh in cash. With few other transactions, I paid him Rs 26.57 lakh. I appeared in the FMGE exam on January 20 in 2023, but failed. When I talked to Abhishek, he sent me a fake certificate showing that I had passed," he said, adds PTI
When he asked for his money, Abhishek gave him threats, after which the medico approached police.
