Bhopal Doctor Duped of Rs 10 Lakh for Bigg Boss Entry
Imagine a doctor who really wanted to be on the TV show Bigg Boss.
A man named Karan promised him a spot in exchange for money.
The doctor gave Karan a lot of money, hoping to be on the show.
But, the doctor wasn't selected for the show.
Karan made up excuses, promising him a spot on the next season, which also never happened.
Eventually, the doctor realized he had been tricked and went to the police.
The police are now investigating Karan for taking the doctor's money by lying to him.
A Bhopal-based dermatologist was defrauded of Rs 10 lakh by a man promising a spot on Bigg Boss.
The con artist, Karan Singh, claimed connections with the show's producers to secure the doctor's entry.
The doctor transferred the money based on assurances of participation in season 16, which never happened.
After repeated failed promises for both seasons 16 and 17, the doctor filed a police complaint.
An FIR has been registered against Karan Singh under Section 420 of the IPC for fraud.
