In the FIR lodged late on Monday evening, the complainants stated that Rs 2.5 million was taken in 2016 on the pretext of providing jobs.

Though names of eight of them were forwarded for permanent postings, but none got the job, alleged the complainants. “When we asked for our money, the doctor returned only Rs five lakh,” stated the complaint.

SP (west) VC Tripathi said an FIR had been lodged against the doctor under Sections 406 and 420 and the matter would be investigated.
