Bengaluru: A 55-year-old man has allegedly cheated of Rs 70 lakh by three fraudsters on the pretext of promising to secure an MBBS seat for his son at a private college.
As per a media report in the Times of India, the complainant, identified as a resident of West Bengaluru told the police that his son had completed II PU and wanted to take up medicine. A police source said, "He received a call from a woman named Anjali three months ago. She claimed to be a consultant with a private firm that could arrange a medical seat for his son."
