Nagpur: Many rich women fell into the trap of so-called cyber expert Ajeet Parse who has been booked by Nagpur Crime Branch on the charges of cheating a doctor to the tune of Rs 4.5 crore by promising him to set up a college and get CSR funds. Posing as a cyber crime expert, the accused Parse had pocketed huge money from these women. The women who were cheated by Parse chose not to file a police complaint fearing disrepute, said a report in a local English daily Lokmat Times.
According to the report, Parse has now been discharged from the hospital, but police have not arrested him as yet. A case of fraud of Rs 4.5 crore was lodged against Parse on October 11, 2022. The complaint was lodged by Dr Rajesh Murkute against Parse. Dr Murkute told police that he came in contact with Parse through a relative in 2019. Parse told him that he had close contacts in the Prime Minister’s Office to get the permission for opening a medical college. He also lured Dr Murkute to get funds under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for opening the college. After taking Rs 25 lakh from Dr Murkute, he created a fake ID of the PMO and sent a letter to Dr Murkute that funds were released to him.
