Ramakrishna L, a senior officer of the Corporation branch in Hubli, alleged that her daughter had completed her bachelor's degree in dental surgery in 2009 and had secured 800th rank in the common entrance test for a master's degree but could not secure a government quota seat.
While a management quota seat would have cost Ramakrishna around Rs 40 lakh, Sebii George introduced him to K Muneshwar Reddy, the managing director of Vertex career Solutions, who promised to land him a seat for Rs 13 lakh of which he was required to pay Rs 3 lakh as advance.
However, Ramakrishna failed to manage the remaining Rs 10 lakh. While Reddy initially promised to return the amount, he later took to giving lame excuses and stopped taking Ramakrishna's calls.

When Ramakrishna confronted Reddy in person, he reportedly told Ramakrishna that he did not owe him any money and challenged him to complain to anyone he pleased.
