Doctor couple from Bilaspur swindled out of ₹28 lakh on the pretext of an MD seat in Nepal
A Kolkata academy director faces legal action under IPC Section 420 after allegedly swindling a Bilaspur doctor out of ₹28 lakh with false promises of an MD Radiology seat in Nepal.
BILASPUR: The Bilaspur Civil Lines Police have registered a Zero FIR against Nirmalya Nag, the director of Kolkata-based Infinity Academy, for allegedly defrauding a Bilaspur doctor of ₹28 lakh under the pretext of securing an MD Radiology seat in Nepal.
According to the police, Dr. Gauri Dutt, director of Samadhan Nursing Home in Bilaspur, lodged a complaint stating that after her son completed his MBBS in 2019-20, the family sought an MD Radiology admission for him. In Kolkata, they met Nirmalya Nag, who claimed to have high-level influence across medical institutions and offered to secure a seat at a Nepal institute for a total package of ₹1.40 crore.
On February 21, 2020, Nag sent a letter claiming the admission was confirmed and took ₹5 lakh via check, followed by an additional ₹25 lakh demand for development fees. Later, on August 14, 2020, he provided a provisional admission letter linked to the Institute of Medicine in Kathmandu. However, the student never received the admission.
Shortly after, on August 18, 2020, the accused sent a letter claiming that the candidate had voluntarily canceled his admission. He promised to return ₹26 lakh by December 2020 after deducting a ₹2 lakh fee. Despite issuing multiple written commitments extending the refund period, the full amount was never restored.
Cheques issued by the accused continuously bounced at Bilaspur banks due to insufficient funds. Between August 2021 and December 2025, Nag returned only ₹13.75 lakh across 39 installments before completely stopping payments after April 8, 2024.
Civil Lines Police Station In-Charge Ravishankar Tiwari stated that because the financial transactions and primary crime scene originated at the accused's office on Kalidas Patitundi Lane in Kolkata, Bilaspur Police registered a Zero FIR under Section 420 of the IPC.
The case file has been formally transferred to the Kalighat Police Station in Kolkata, West Bengal, for further legal investigation.
