Respected sir,
Sub: complaint regarding cheating and breach of trust committed by ashok sah, anil, praveen kumar ([protected]), mritunjay kumar, r n singh
I am working in a central govt institute. My daughter had completed her neet exam (2019) and has scored 320/720 marks. She registered through karnataka examinations authority (Kea), bangalore, for taking admission to mbbs in karnataka and paid processing fees and verified documents / certificates at kea. On 3rd aug 2019, we received a sms from mobile number [protected] under header ‘hp-neetug’, regarding ‘mbbs admission in karnataka’ and we responded to the message. One person named ‘praveen kumar’ took the call and promised us that he will secure admission in a reputed college under management quota (Private). Initially he said, we have to pay rs 20 lakhs as service fee. We negotiated hard and he came down to rs 17 lakhs. He further promised that they will secure admission even if my daughter does not attend mop-up counselling which is scheduled on 8th aug 2019. Myself, my wife and my daughter were residing at bangalore where counselling session were held at bangalore. Each time my daughter visits counselling spot, we had to spent a huge amount on her travel, her accommodation, etc. Since my daughter can not go alone, either o[censored]s had to accompany her and this adds-up to our financial burden. Both, myself, my wife are employed and were not given leave frequently, and also due to our old age, we agreed to engage them to secure admission for our daughter. They, asked us to pay rs 2 lakhs through rtgs (Punjab national bank, a/c no - [protected], ifsc code punb0362500 branch rmv extension, bangalore) which we had paid on 7th aug 2019. Later praveen kumar asked us to contact their kolkata office for the remaining works. He referred us to their office (Dezire group), situated at basement of oyo hotel, 29/4 dr ambedkar sarani, topsia more, kolkata – 78 and asked us to contact ashok sah (Ph no: +[protected] & voter id: uto 1314517). We went on 9th aug 2019 to their office at topsia more, kolkata and found that an office set-up with 4 women staffs and one man working. We met ashok sah and he imposed us many conditions for the deal and for paying balance money. When we expressed our difficulty and asked about securities of payment, he along with an anonymous asked us to counter sign a loan-proposal on behalf of their company and we agreed to that proposal. We came back to home from kolkata on that 9th aug 2019. Over phone they told us that they will come to our home to execute that loan-proposal and collect money. On 17th aug 2019, they (Ashok sah & r n singh) came to home at our residence and urged us to pay balance amount and sign the loan agreement / proposal. They urged us to pay the balance in cash in two instalments (I) rs two and a half lakhs on 17th aug 2019 and (Ii) rs 12 lakhs at bangalore on 22nd aug 2019. Succumbed to their pressure, we handed over rs two and a half lakhs to ashok sah and r n singh at our residence on 17th aug 2019 and signed the agreement for loan. They gave us one post-dated cheque (Yes bank) of rs 4 lakhs 50 thousands dated 26th aug 2019. They told us to pay balance on 22nd aug at bangalore. When we asked many doubts regarding the admission process and formalities, ashok sah told us not to worry, work is going on and everything will be taken care of by them and invited us to come to bangalore for balance payment and admission. When we went to bangalore, ashok sah on 22nd aug 2019, introduced a person to us named anil (Ph no: [protected]) as an officer from kea. However, on asking his id card, he (Anil) denied to show. They told they will collect balance amount and show allotment letter in favour of the candidate simultaneously. An amount of rs 12 lakhs in cash was handed over to ashok sah near manipal hospital, bangalore on 23rd aug 2019. This was the 2nd transaction of cash. They showed us allotment letter on their mobile on 23rd aug 2019 at about 11 am. They promised us that they will take us from the same place at bangalore to college and help in admission process on next day. However, on that day night, when we tried to contact them their mobiles were switched off. We tried to contact them through mobile in next two days, but they did not pick-up the calls. We saw in the computer kea-site but it says: ‘you are not allotted any seat’. We came back to our residence. As per kea schedule, our counselling date was on 8th aug 2019. However, we did not attend the mop-up counselling as they (Ashok sah) assured us not to attend and they will arrange. They also informed us that they had provided service to such deals to many people earlier and also this year and had settled the issues. We produced their cheque in bank, but it said, ‘the account is blocked’. We humbly request you, sir, to kindly take action on praveen kumar, ashok sah, anil, rn singh, mritunjay and recover our hard earned money. Punjab bank, rmv branch says “its wrong a/c number’, but my money has been deducted.
