According to police, a couple from Kirti Nagar was approached by three people who claimed to have strong contacts in government ministries and the erstwhile Medical Council of India. They convinced the parents that they could arrange admission for their daughter in a Rohini-based medical college under the management quota.
The incident took place between 2021 and 2023 when the couple was asked to pay Rs 1.10 crore after several meetings with the accused. They made payments in cash and bank transfers, sometimes even meeting the accused at hotels near Indira Gandhi International Airport to hand over the money. In return, the fraudsters gave them post-dated cheques worth Rs 32.5 lakh as “security” to assure the couple of their sincerity, but one of those later bounced.

Like this, the family kept receiving false promises and even fake emails that suggested the admission process was on. The accused warned the couple not to approach the college directly, threatening that such action might jeopardise their daughter's admission.
For almost two years, the parents kept waiting, only to finally discover that no admission process had ever been initiated, and the emails they had received were forged.
TOI source informed, "The complainant's husband had received several emails purportedly from the college, explaining delays in the admission process. However, the complainant and her husband later discovered that all these emails were fake. The accused not only cheated them financially but also caused irreparable damage to their daughter's valuable academic time."
The family’s pain worsened when her husband, who had been following up on the matter, passed away in November 2023. Despite the wife's repeated requests, the accused never returned the money.
She eventually approached the police after learning that the two accused from Gurgaon were allegedly planning to leave the country to avoid legal consequences. On August 28, Kirti Nagar police registered a cheating case against the three accused. However, no arrests have been made so far, but an investigation is underway.
