Two held for duping students

According to the police,Mukherjee and Dasgupta,both residents of Jadavpur,had opened a placement centre in Chatterjee International building near Park Street. They also published advertisements in different newspapers promising admissions to students in private colleges.

A year ago,Monoranjan Podder paid Rs 2.5 lakh to the duo for getting admission in a private engineering college. But after one year when he didn’t get admission,he lodged a complaint with the police. This was followed by more complaints by some students. “We initiated a probe which revealed that Mukherjee and Dasgupta had duped more than 20 students,” said a senior police officer.
