JAIPUR: A Jaipur-based gang cheated students of Rs 1.37 crore by promising them guaranteed admission in state government medical colleges. The matter came to light when a Jodhpur-based owner of a medical coaching institute filed an FIR against the two accused at Jaipur’s Pratap Nagar police station on Wednesday.
As per the FIR, the complainant saw an advertisement in two locals newspapers of Jodhpur in 2017 about the selection in government medical colleges. The complainant then spoke one Ravi Choudhary, a resident of Jagatpura in Jaipur.
Choudhary allegedly assured the complainant of securing medical seats for students and demanded Rs 20 lakh for each student.
The complainant told the police said he agreed and paid nearly Rs 60 lakh along with marksheets of the students to Choudhary. However, as the days wore on, there was no reply from Choudhary, neither did he manage to facilitate admissions in any of the promised medical colleges. Choudhary then introduced the victim to one Neeraj, and told him that the latter was a senior doctor in the leading medical college of New Delhi and is capable of arranging medical seats.
Meanwhile, the accused also assured the complainant he could facilitate a candidate’s job as a compounder in a government medical college and took Rs 17 lakh for the same.
The complainant, however, was taken aback when even his students could not secure admission for the 2020 academic year. He tried to speak to Choudhary and Neeraj but their mobile phones were switched off.
