📰 From the news · Fake admission / seat promise
A gynaecologist paid ₹18.9 lakh for her son's seat; police think the Ameerpet firm collected about ₹1.15 crore from parents like her: the Eduvio case and the Facebook ad that started it
The complainant in this Hyderabad case is a 44-year-old obstetrician and gynaecologist, a doctor who knows exactly how medical admissions work, and who still paid a consultancy for a seat that was never allotted.
According to Telangana Today, she saw a Facebook advertisement and visited the firm's office in Ameerpet, where she was promised an MBBS seat for her son and paid ₹18.9 lakh before discovering that the allotment letter she had been given was fake; the office was later found closed. Deccan Chronicle named the firm as Eduvio NEET Counselling Execution, operating as Eduvio Operations from Ameerpet, and listed further alleged payments by other parents of ₹3 lakh, ₹15.3 lakh, ₹5.75 lakh plus ₹13 lakh in cash, and ₹5 lakh. Police told the paper the firm was suspected of having collected about ₹1.15 crore in total using similar promises. Medical Dialogues and The South India Times reported that a case was registered and transferred to the Central Crime Station; reports differed on whether the complaint was first filed at Madhuranagar or Malakpet police station, and none of the reports available to us named an arrest.
The ₹1.15 crore figure is the police estimate of the firm's takings, not one family's loss, and it is the number that explains the business. A consultancy that collects from a dozen parents in one admission season, hands each a letter and closes the office, has made more than most clinics do in a year, and the staged payments mean that by the time the first family verifies the letter the money is gone.
That a gynaecologist was among the victims is the point for every other parent. Knowing medicine is not the same as knowing counselling, and the people who sell seats are experts in the second. The only protection is procedural: seats come from the counselling authority's portal by rank, allotment letters are verified with the college before any payment, and a firm that asks for cash is telling you what it is.
