Police today registered a cheating case against the proprietor of a career counselling cell here for duping a student on the pretext of securing admission in a medical college outside Jammu and Kashmir.
Saba Shafi, the proprietor of Messrs Abdaal Career Counseling Cell located at Baghat Chowk in uptown Srinagar, had reportedly taken an amount of Rs six lakh from a client in order to get his daughter admitted in some medical college within the country, a police spokesman said.
However, the spokesman said the accused did not turn up with anything substantial with regard to the admission and swindled the money given by the student.
"Later, she promised to return the money and gave two cheques to the complainant that bounced on account of insufficient funds," the spokesman said.
He said police has registered a cheating case against the proprietor and further investigations are on.
