Haryana man duped of Rs 25 lakh in MBBS admission fraud, 2 booked

According to the complainant, he contacted a career counsellor at the Shri Dham Society in Jind to secure admission for his daughter in an MBBS program. The counsellor allegedly promised admission to a medical college in Nepal and quoted a total fee of ₹60.51 lakh, including a service charge of ₹5 lakh, as reported by TOI.

Believing her, the complainant allegedly transferred ₹10 lakh on June 30, 2025, and ₹4.5 lakh on July 1, 2025, via RTGS, while the remaining amount was paid through online transactions, including Google Pay. In total, the accused was allegedly given approximately ₹2.5 million.

The student's original educational documents were also handed over to the accused. The complainant claimed that the counsellor showed the documents confirming the seat booking and admission. But, upon enquiry, the college in Nepal reportedly told the family that no admission was given.

Subsequently, the victim contacted the accused, but the accused allegedly avoided giving a clear answer and later admitted on February 9 that no admission was granted. Despite repeated requests, the money was not returned.

On February 11, when he called to request a refund, the accused allegedly handed the phone to a man, who verbally abused him and threatened to kill the family and kidnap them from their home. Police said the other accused, a resident of Sulchani village, is also named in the FIR. Meanwhile, further investigations are underway.
