Police in Nagpur have booked a man accused of cheating a family out of Rs 10 lakh in a fraudulent NEET admission scheme.
Nagpur police have registered a case against a local resident suspected of orchestrating a NEET admission fraud that allegedly duped a family of Rs 10 lakh. The accused was taken into custody following a complaint that the family had paid a large sum for a guaranteed seat in the national medical entrance exam, but the promised admission did not materialise.
Investigators said the fraud involved misrepresentation of the candidate's eligibility and falsified documents to secure a seat. The family, seeking a medical college placement for their ward, reportedly approached the suspect who claimed to have influence over the admission process.
Authorities have booked the suspect under sections relating to cheating and fraud, and the case is being forwarded to the district court for further legal action. The police have urged the public to exercise caution when dealing with agents promising assured NEET admissions.
The incident highlights growing concerns over fraudulent intermediaries exploiting aspirants' hopes for medical careers, prompting calls for stricter monitoring of admission counselling services.
