Man loses Rs 10.6 lakh to medical seat fraud
Davanagere: A private company employee residing in PJ Layout fell victim to a Rs 10.6 lakh fraud scheme involving false promises of securing a medical seat. The deception began in 2022 when Prakash Babu, seeking admission to MBBS course for a relative's son, was introduced through a friend to an individual named Bharunendra. The friend suggested that Bharunendra could assist in obtaining a medical seat. Bharunendra, alongside associates Gaurav Chaudhary and Umesh, contacted Prakash repeatedly, claiming expertise in arranging medical admissions. Trusting their assurances, Prakash transferred Rs 10,64,000 in several instalments to their bank accounts. After three years of continuous promises, in March 2025, Bharunendra informed Prakash that the money was paid to a college in Uttar Pradesh but cited delays from the institution. Subsequently, their phones became unreachable. Upon learning from friends that he was deceived, Prakash lodged a formal complaint at the CEN Crime Station on June 17, 2025. Authorities have registered a case against the three accused: Bharunendra, Gaurav Chaudhary, and Umesh.

Bharathi,48, a resident of Hiriyadka, in a complaint, stated that she was searching for employment when she came across an Instagram advertisement offering work-from-home opportunities.

To register, Bharathi was sent a link and instructed to pay Rs 200 via UPI. The transaction, made on June 15, reflected the name Neeraj Kumar Singh. Subsequently, a tutor named Vaishali Raj shared another link through which Bharathi completed a task and received Rs 300 as a reward. Later, she was added to a WhatsApp group named 'VIP Investment Members Only,' where she was shown a list of investment options with attractive commissions. Trusting the offer, she initially invested Rs 20,000. After completing additional tasks, she was told she could only withdraw her earnings if she deposited another Rs 40,000. Over time, the complainant allegedly transferred a total of Rs 5.6 lakh to various bank accounts, expecting returns that never came. Instead, she continued to receive messages demanding more payments. A case was registered at Hiriyadka police station under Section 66(D) of the Information Technology Act. In another case, Sushma,31, a resident of Marne village, received a Telegram message on June 10 from a user named Vanya, offering a part-time job.

Adityapur college student dies by suicide
Jamshedpur: A student of Bachelor in Business Administration (BBA) in an Adityapur-based private university died by suicide at his rented accommodation located at Hari Om Nagar in the wee hours of Saturday, police said. The deceased was identified as Shubham Kumar (20). The officer in-charge of the Adityapur police station, Binod Tirkey, said, "The father, who lives in Kolkata, called Subham on the mobile phone on Saturday morning but received no response. He next rang the landlord to enquire after his son. The landlord found the boy hanging from the ceiling fan in his room." "The boy had a telephonic talk with his father on Friday night, which probably was the last conversation he had prior to the death. No suicide note has been recovered from the crime scene and neither there's any preliminary information about the cause of the suicide," OC Tirkey added.
