The Udupi police arrested three individuals on charges of cheating Santosh E, a graduate in general medicine, by promising him a fake MPH medical seat in the UK. The arrested individuals are Suman (24) from Shivamogga, Mohammad Mahaz (23), and Suhan Khan (22) from Moodbidri.
According to the police, Santosh had met an accused named Aftab in Dubai, who promised him a seat to pursue an MPH degree in the UK for Rs 18 lakh. Aftab demanded an advance payment of Rs 8.5 lakh, which Santosh transferred to Suman during a meeting in Udupi. After the payment, Santosh was unable to contact the accused and grew suspicious, leading him to file a police complaint.
The police arrested the suspects and seized cash, a car, and other goods worth Rs 9.56 lakh from them. The investigation is ongoing, as authorities work to uncover the full extent of the fraud.
