Absconding man from Bihar duped students of lakhs of rupees after promising them management seats at K J Somaiya College

The police are looking for a 35-year-old man from Patna who's duped at least five students from all over India of Rs 34 lakh by falsely promising them admission to K J Somaiya College in Vidya Vihar.

Shashi Shekhar Sharma (35) used flashy means to lure students to Mumbai (see sketches alongside). He would first advertise promised admissions on the website of his institute, Wise Path Educational Trust (www.wisepath.co.in), said investigating officer V S Shinde of Tilak Nagar police station.

There, he had put up pictures of Somaiya College saying it offered courses in retail, financial and event management and business and media.

Once a student contacts Shashi Shankar Sharma for admissions, he sends a fancy car to the airport to pick him up.

Sharma then gives the student a personal tour of the K J Somaiya College. How do you like the new new mid-day.com experience? Share your feedback and help us improve.
