Delhi based consultancy cheats doctor of Rs 42 lakh in promise of PG seat in MAMC, 1 held
Bhopal: Based on a complaint moved by a doctor who was cheated of Rs 42.50 lakh by a Delhi-based consultancy in the promise of a seat in the Post-Graduation course (PG course) at Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC), Rewa police have busted an interstate gang operating an admission racket in medical colleges.
One of the members of the gang has already been arrested by the police while attempts are being made to trace the other members of the gang.
As per a recent media report by Free Press journal, Rewa SP Rakesh Kumar Singh informed that the complainant doctor alleged that he gave the amount to the accused gang for getting admission in the post-graduation course in a medical college in New Delhi.
The doctor elaborated that last year in January, he received a message from the accused company which claimed that it can help him in securing a PG seat in a medical college. The doctor paid a visit to the office and checked the relevant papers. After the consultancy secured the trust of the doctor, they demanded almost Rs 80 lakhs from the doctor for granting him a PG seat.
Later, the lockdown was imposed all over the country in wake of the pandemic and the doctor started having conversations with the consultancy online. The doctor paid almost Rs 42.50 lakh via instalments and made online transfers to their accounts. The doctor was then instructed to sit for the entrance examination in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Following their instruction, the doctor appeared for the examination and cleared it after which a seat was granted to him in Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC), New Delhi, reports the daily.
According to ASP Shiv Kumar Verma, the culprits made a flawless plan and in order to convince the doctor of the legitimacy of his admission, they took him to the college to complete the admission process on January 29, 2021.
Thereafter, the consultancy provided the doctor with the allotment and admission letter 'signed' by the dean of the college. Later, when the doctor started questioning about the further progress in the admission, the accused company started ignoring his phone calls.
On March 3rd the doctor decided to visit the college and enquire but to his utter shock, the college administration confirmed that his admission was not valid and the letter, the signature, and even the seal were in fact fake.
The doctor immediately approached the Rewa police on March 9th and registered a complaint of cheating against the offenders. The police conducted a thorough search at the company office and the nearby areas and successfully nabbed one of the offenders. Police have already arrested the accused involved in the admission racket.
According to the daily, some papers were also seized from the office of the accused agency which had details of almost 12 students who might have been similarly cheated. The students are from various parts of the country and police would make calls to the students and take their statements accordingly. Police also seized 15 bank accounts of the company and are trying to nab the other members of the racket.
