Fraud organization dupes 10 Medical Aspirants parents of Rs 1.8 crore
Bengaluru: In another MBBS seat scam, a fraud organization has recently been reported to the police for defrauding 10 students and their parents out of Rs. 1.81 crore for a medical seat.
One of the victim's parents claimed that his daughter passed NEET in 2021 and applied for a medical seat. Soon, the members of the organization contacted him in November assuring him that they would get his daughter a medical seat. The organization alleged that as the seat would be under Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA), it would cost Rs 60 lakh. They said that demand drafts should be used to make the payments.
The police told TNIE, "He went to the firm's office and paid Rs 18 lakh. In February, they informed him that his daughter has been allotted a seat at Sridevi Medical College in Tumakuru and asked him to pay Rs 15 lakh, of which he paid Rs 10 lakh in cash. They claimed he would get a confirmation email within a few days but no mail came. When he went to the office to check, it was closed. A few others too have been cheated similarly,"
