Baramati doctor duped of Rs 92.5 lakh after bank accounts hacked

Following the incident, the victim lodged a complaint with the Baramati City Police. According to the complaint, on April 6, he discovered that ₹48 lakh had been transferred from the hospital's private bank account, and ₹44.5 lakh had been transferred from his savings bank account on the same day.  

When the hospital manager inquired at the bank, they discovered that the amount had been transferred to an account at a private bank in Ranchi, Jharkhand.

Additionally, upon examining the bank statements, it was found that ₹44.5 lakh had been transferred from the medical practitioner's bank account through four transactions, and ₹48 lakh from the hospital's bank account through three transactions.   

However, the doctor or hospital officials were unaware of how the money had been transferred, according to TOI.  

Therefore, based on the complaint, an officer from the Baramati City Police stated that an investigation into this matter is currently underway to determine how exactly the fraudsters gained access to these bank accounts.   

"We have launched an investigation into the case. We have also sought the details of the transactions from the bank," the officer said.  

Medical Dialogues had recently reported that a former student of Gajra Raja Medical College has alleged that MBBS degrees were issued to some candidates in exchange for Rs 16 lakh, despite them not appearing for examinations, not meeting academic criteria, and being previously expelled in connection with the Vyapam scam.
