According to police, Shrivastava was active in Maharashtra, but stayed in Gurgaon. “He had contacts with big politicians and heads of educational institutes,” the officer said, adding that local police helped them nab the accused.
A case was registered in Nagpur in 2017 when at least 50 people, who were promised medical college seats by a Nagpur consultancy, have later discovered that they were duped, sources said.
