Bengaluru, Sept 3: A businessman has lost Rs 11 lakh to fraudsters who promised a medical seat for his daughter in a Bengaluru college. Mahadevapura police have registered a case in this regard.

According to the police sources, Ishika Aggarwal, daughter of Ajay Aggarwal from New Delhi, had attended the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). Three months ago, a man named Mohan contacted Ajay, saying his daughter can get a medical seat in one of the reputed colleges in Bengaluru. The caller sought Rs 25 lakh and agreed to get it done for Rs 15 lakh after negotiations.

On August 22, as per Mohan’s direction, Ajay had transferred Rs 50,000 and Mohan told him to come to Bengaluru on Wednesday with the remaining amount. Ajay, with his daughter and wife, came to the city on Wednesday and met Mohan at a hotel. Ajay paid about Rs 10 lakh cash and Mohan gave a security cheque, along with a letter of seat confirmation. He told them to come to the said medical college at 1am.

However, when Ajay turned up and tried to contact Mohan, his mobile phone was switched off. Ajay approached police and filed a complaint. Police have launched a manhunt to nab the accused.
