Man claims to be a doctor, dupes medical student of Rs 12.9 lakh on pretext of 6-year course fee to Russian University
The accused who proposed to the family saying that paying the entire fee (Rs 17.6 lakh) for the six-year course would be affordable instead of paying separately for each year which would cost them Rs 10 lakh more, only submitted the admission fee of the 1st-year medical course.;
Mumbai: In yet another case of medical admission fraud reported in the city, a man was taken into police custody on March 7 for allegedly duping a medical student of Rs 12.9 lakh on the pretext of paying a 6-years admission course fee to a Russian University.
While investigating the case, the police found that the accused was a former director of a private company that assists students in pursuing studies abroad.
Although the accused left his position two years ago, he did not inform the families of the medical student. Therefore, when the student’s family members asked him to send the money for admission to the university, the accused accepted it. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he kept most of the amount and sent only some of the money to the university.
