Police said on Sunday (20 April 20, 2025) that two people allegedly from Chhattisgarh and Bengaluru were deceived by Rs 7761 crore, an excuse for seating at PG courses offered at a medical school in Navigne Mumbai in a case of managing quotas.
In this regard, they said, the Niruhr police in Navini Mumbai registered two cases against six people.
A 59-year-old man from Raigarh, Chhattisgarh claimed in a police complaint that the six defendants promised to receive a postgraduate seat in general surgery courses at Nerul Medical College in a prestigious Nerul Medical College.
Between May 2022 and December 2023, the defendant allegedly accounted for Rs 1.227 crore from him. An official from the Nerul Police Department said the man later discovered all communications, including admission confirmation messages, accession letters and university documents.
When the complainant asked about university admission, the defendant returned Rs 8.5 lakh but failed to refund the remaining Rs 4.2 lakh.
The official said the victim approached police after multiple attempts to restore the balance amount failed.
“The defendant even used fake college letterheads to send out the acceptance letter and misled the complainant with fake official communication. This clearly demonstrated the planned conspiracy,” he said.
Officials said police found another similar case, with three of the six defendants from a 54-year-old man from Bengaluru, claiming he was cheated of Rs 3,561 crore after the defendant promised to receive a MD anesthesia course in the same medical school.
“In the second case, the fraud was committed between May 2022 and December 2023. The defendant initially spent Rs 5 million but only refunded Rs 4.39 million and then stopped responding to repeated calls and messages from the victims.”
He said the Bengaluru-based complainant also provided for forged documents, including a “temporary distribution letter” from the Medical Advisory Committee, a forged university letter, fee structure, letter of joining letter and receipt, which were later found to have been found to be forged.
“The proposed documents have been carefully designed to show truth and convince victims. We are verifying whether more people fall into the prey of the same scam,” the official said.
Police conducted two FIRs on Friday, one of which was a complaint against six people in Chhattisgarh and the other against Bangalore, against Article 420 of Indian Criminal Code (cheating), 406 (criminal breach of trust), 465, 467, 467, 468 (forgery), 471 (forgery), 471 (forgery), 471 (forgery) (official books) and 34 (for for for Difcement and for for Disfections) and 34 (for for for for for Disfections) and 34 (34) and 34 (34) and 34 (34) (crime) and 34 (34) (crime) and 34.467, 468 (forgery) (crime) and 34.467, 467, 468 (for) (
He added that there have been no arrests so far.
“We are investigating the financial trail and checking with the agencies concerned to determine the extent of forgery,” the official said.
