Ramakrishna L, a senior officer with the Hubli branch of the Corporation Bank, hasu00a0complained that Vertex Career Solutions, a city based educational consultancy, cheated him of Rs 3 lakh.

Sebii George of Vertex allegedly promised Ramakrishna's daughter Neha (name changed), a seat in a prestigious medical college for the sum.

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.
