Ward Boy Arrested
Rajasthan: In a recent fraud case from Rajasthan, the Police recently arrested a man who had duped several students of lakhs of rupees by promising them medical admission and online course subscription.
The accused has been identified as Khan, a resident of Alwar. Currently, the Police have taken him into custody following complaints from several students who were duped.
According to officials, Khan allegedly used social media and other digital platforms to lure young students with the promise of guaranteed admission to medical courses. He also took money without fulfilling promises or providing refunds.
According to an IndiaToday news report, a police officer said that the investigation began after a complaint was filed on an online complaint portal.

Initial investigations have revealed that several students were defrauded.

Following this incident, the police have asked students and parents to thoroughly verify any online claims related to courses, jobs or admissions before transferring money and to immediately report any suspicious activity to the police.
