The police have registered a case of fraud against a man on the charge of swindling Rs 14 lakh from a person in the name of admission in a private medical college.
According to Banganga police station Yogesh Singh Tomar, the case of fraud was registered following complaint of Bhupendra, son of Mangilal, a native of Barotha village in Mandsaur district. In his complaint Bhupendra said that he was trying for admission of his brother Arun in a medical college. He received a call from Mayank who collected the former’s phone number from the net, assuring him arranging admission of his brother in any medical college of Madhya Pradesh and Bangalore.
Bhupendra said since his brother wanted to get admission in the medical college of Madhya Pradesh only. Subsequently, the accused offered him choices of three medical colleges located in Bhopal, Indore and Ujjain. However, according to the victim, his brother wanted to get admission in the medical college of Indore only. The accused agreed for this and demanded a sum of Rs 14 lakh for admission of Arun in a private medical college of Indore.
Subsequently, as asked by the accused, Arun carrying a cash of Rs 14 lakh in his bag went to Sarwate bus stand and handed over it to Mayank. After taking back the money, the accused left the place asking Arun that he will call him soon. However, when Arun did not receive any call from Mayank for 2-3 days, he rang up the accused but the latter told him that he was busy in connection with his admission and would call him up soon. However, Arun did not receive any call thereafter and he rang up the accused once again, the cellphone much to his chagrin turned out to be closed.
Thereafter, he informed about the matter to his brother Bhupendra who latter lodged a complaint to this effect with Banganga police which after registering the case have started probe into the matter.
