VADODARA: Promising a seat at the coveted GMERS Medical College and Hospital in Gotri, a history-sheeter took a civil contractor for a costly ride of Rs 25 lakh. However, he was booked for cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy after Satya Raghu filed a police complaint.
Raghu told the police that in August 2017, accused Harshil Limbachiya had assured seat for his daughter in MBBS course at GMERS Medical College and Hospital, while she had already secured a seat in Ahmedabad. The parents wanted her to study in Vadodara and so, Raghu met Limbachiya through an employee.
