MUMBAI, Sept. 21 -- The Sion police on Friday registered a case against Dr Rakesh Verma, the suspended deputy dean of the Sion Hospital, for allegedly cheating a doctor to the tune of Rs.70 lakh by promising his daughter an MBBS admission under the management quota. This sixth cheating case registered against the suspended deputy dean, said police. The complainant in the case is Dr Ramachandra Shukla, who runs a clinic in Dharavi with his wife, Dr Sunita. "Their daughter had obtained 60% in HSC. They wanted an MBBS admission for their daughter in 2020. They tried several colleges like Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Medical College and General Hospital in Sion, DY Patil Hospital, JJ Hospital, Vedanta College for admission under the management quota, but were unsuccessful," said a police officer. In September 2020, Dr Shukla met with Dr Verma, who allegedly promised admission for Shukla's doctor in Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Medical College and General Hospital in the management quota. Verma then asked the doctor to meet his accomplice, Dr Akhilesh Pal. Dr Pal called Dr Shukla and demanded Rs.1 crore for the admission, and directed him to meet his associate, Luv Gupta, in Belapur. After negotiations, Dr Shukla paid Gupta Rs.70 lakh in three cheques, the officer said. A few days later, Dr Shukla's daughter received emails confirming her admission to the college. According to the complaint, Gupta allegedly even handed her a provisional allotment letter with the dean's signature. She also received emails from the hospital's official email ID asking her to join online classes. "For four months in 2021, she attended the online lectures but was not satisfied with the teaching quality," the officer said.
