Powai Family Files FIR Over Rs 4.71 Crore Medical Admission Fraud
In Mumbai's Powai area, a doctor and his family were allegedly cheated of Rs 4.71 crore by Munsiraj Navik and his son, who promised to secure an MBBS seat for the doctor's son after he had to leave his medical studies in Ukraine due to the war. The accused assured admission in a Maharashtra medical college but failed to deliver, leading to a police FIR filed on January 23. The complainants had paid the amount based on Navik's claims but later realized they were defrauded when no admission was arranged.
