The Central Crime Branch (CCB) has arrested R. Rosemary (45) from Kanniyakumari district for allegedly cheating parents of several medical aspirants. She is accused of taking lakhs of rupees under the pretext of securing medical seats for their children.
According to police, in 2022, Rosemary sought a medical seat for her daughter. Through her contacts, she was introduced to Anthony Doss and Ramya, who claimed to have influential connections in the health department and promised to secure a seat in exchange for money.
Ramya reportedly arranged a meeting for Rosemary and her family at the Directorate of Medical and Rural Health Services (DMS) campus, Teynampet, introducing Anthony Doss as a doctor. Between February 8 and May 19, 2022, the family allegedly transferred Rs60 lakh via online bank transfers and cash.
Investigations are ongoing to trace the full extent of the scam and identify any accomplices involved in the fraudulent scheme.
