MBBS admission racket busted: 4 held for duping aspirants for six months, probe on

Digging deep into the admission scam, the police discovered that the accused obtained information pertaining to candidates who were unsuccessful in the NEET examination from the official website. Subsequently, the defendant would selectively approach these candidates and coerce them into making payments in exchange for securing a seat at a medical college.

For this, they hired around 10-12 people for tele-calling to contact the victims. If the victims showed any positive response, the accused arranged a meeting to discuss the price and process. They would even open them bank accounts with fake documents and after the victims made payments the suspects provided them with bank cheques as a guarantee. However, the cheques bounced.

"They would convince the victims that they could secure them a medical seat and even made them open bank accounts using fake documents," a senior police officer told DH.

"All key individuals have been apprehended, while some others remain at large. Efforts are underway to apprehend them," added the officer.

The case came to light after a complaint was filed from a Mysuru-based businessman to whom the accused promised a medical seat for his daughter and took ₹10.8 lakh.

Further investigation into the case in under process.
