Haryana: 3 arrested for duping man of ₹15 lakh over MBBS admission for his daughter

According to the police, Jitender, a Sector 55 resident, whose daughter's NEET results had been declared in June 2024, filed a police complaint stating that he received a call from his daughter's classmate, Shubham Tiwari. Shubham claimed to know a woman named Sangeeta and her husband, Manoj Sharma, who could assist in securing an MBBS seat for Jitender's daughter at ESIC Medical College in Faridabad.

Shubham introduced Jitender to Sangeeta, who informed him that her husband, Manoj, was in contact with Krishan Kumar and another woman, Yogita , who could facilitate the admission. Yogita demanded ₹15 lakh for the process. Enticed by the promise of admission, Jitender paid ₹15 lakh to Sangeeta and Krishan. They later provided him with a fake admission list featuring his daughter's name, along with a counterfeit ID card displaying a false roll number and a letter indicating that classes would start in January 2025, the complaint read.

The complaint further claimed that when the actual college admission process commenced, Jitender discovered that his daughter's name was not on any official list. Following this, he approached the police.

In response to the complaint, an FIR was filed at the Sector 58 police station. During the investigation, the police arrested the three suspects: Krishan Kumar , a resident of Sector 21 B, Faridabad, along with the two women in question, police said.

"The complainant handed over ₹13.10 lakh to Sangeeta in cash and transferred ₹90,000 into the account of the accused, Krishan Kumar, who prepared all the fake documents. We have recovered ₹15,000 from Kumar's possession. All the accused were produced in a city court today and sent to judicial custody", a spokesperson for the Faridabad police noted.
