Noida: A medical aspirant has been cheated of Rs 20 lakh by a group of 6 people operating from a Noida-based office who promised to facilitate MBBS admission in a government medical college in Prayagraj.
The victim has been identified as a resident of Shanti Kunj in Lucknow. In her complaint, the victim mentioned that her father received a phone call from a woman who suggested that she can help the aspirant secure a medical admission and gave him the contact of another person. The person met the student's father in an office and convinced him that they can arrange an MBBS seat for his daughter in exchange for Rs 25 Lakhs.
Elaborating on the scam, the medical aspirant told Hindustan Times, "The woman gave the number of one person to my father. He called my father to an office in Sector 62 and introduced him to others. They promised to facilitate my admission in a government medical college in Prayagraj for Rs 25 lakh."
According to the daily, the victim informed that the accused arranged a fake test and counselling session to convince the student of the authenticity of the procedure and took Rs 20 lakh from her. The culprits also handed over the seat allotment letter to the victim on January 21st.
