Never mess with a father, especially on the pretext of helping his child, is the message a determined businessman has sent with his actions. He resolved to punish the person who had cheated him of Rs 20 lakh, claiming to get his daughter admission to an MBBS course, and turned sleuth not only to trace the cheat himself, but ensure that he was arrested. His daughter had lost two academic years while waiting for this admission. The Kurar police arrested the 45-year-old accused from Delhi on Monday.

Conned due to admission
According to police sources, Vishwanath Sahu, who stays with his family in Malad East, owns an imitation jewellery business. In 2014, he was seeking admission at JJ Medical College for his daughter when he met the accused, identified as Pradeep Singh in Patna, through a friend. Singh posed as a real estate broker and claimed to have contacts in many medical colleges across India.
