SRINAGAR (KIMS) — The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Crime Branch Kashmir on Friday said it has filed a charge sheet against two Karnataka residents for duping a man of Rs 13 lakh on the pretext of providing MBBS admission to his son.

The charge sheet has been filed in FIR No. 10/2024 under Sections 420 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code before the Court of Sub-Judge, Baramulla, against accused Aquib Javeed, son of Mohd Ayoub, and Mohd Ahtesham Ahmad, son of Mohd Ayoub, both residents of Ring Road, Adarsh Nagar, Gulbarga, District Kalaburagi, Karnataka.

EOW said, The case originated from a written complaint alleging that the complainant was approached by one Dr. Shamsu-Din, working at Al-Amin Medical College, Bijapur, Karnataka, who assured him of arranging MBBS admission for his son through accused Aquib Javeed. On this assurance, the complainant was induced to pay Rs 13 lakh. However, neither was admission secured for his son nor was the money returned.
