Bhopal Dermatologist defrauded of Rs 10 lakh in Bigg Boss Entry scam

Believing Karan’s claims, Dr Gupta paid him Rs 10 lakh in hopes of becoming a contestant on the show. However, when the official Bigg Boss contestant list came out, the doctor noticed that his name was missing and not included in the official list. Following this, Dr Gupta became suspicious.

When he questioned Karan about it, the man reassured him that the entry was still possible through internal channels, which is a 'backdoor' process. But over time, the doctor received no results or updates regarding this. As a result, he began demanding his refund, but Karan stopped answering his calls and eventually switched off his phone completely.

Realising he had been duped, Dr Gupta approached the Chunabhatti police and filed a complaint in July 2023. Based on the complaint, the police registered an FIR against Karan Singh under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which deals with cheating.

Following this, the police have started investigating the case and are trying to trace the accused, who is still at large.
