The two claimed that Qureshi’s daughter would get admission to a reputed medical college in Mumbai under the management quota. They allegedly even gave the complainant a few fake documents in connection with the admission, the official said citing the complaint.
When the complainant’s daughter failed to get an MBBS seat despite much follow-up by her father, the accused returned Rs 10 lakh, the official said. They later became unreachable.
