Man Poses As Event Director, Dupes Bhopal Doctor Of Rs 10 Lakh In Fake Bigg Boss Entry Scam
Curated By : Last Updated: August 05, 2025, 07:16 IST A representative, AI-generated image for cyber/digital fraud (News18) A doctor from Madhya Pradesh's Bhopal was duped of Rs 10 lakh by an unknown person who posed as an event director and promised the doctor a secured entry into the popular television reality show Bigg Boss. According to India Today, the doctor, Abhinit Gupta, is a popular dermatologist in the city and runs the Poison Skin Clinic there. The case dates back to 2022, when the doctor received a call from a man who identified himself as Karan Singh and claimed he had strong connections in television production circles. Karan assured Dr Gupta that he could secure his entry into Bigg Boss through unofficial channels. The report claimed the doctor allegedly paid Karan Rs 10 lakh. However, suspicion arose when his name did not feature on the final list of contestants for that season. Upon confronting Karan, Dr Gupta was told that the entry would happen through a 'backdoor process." When this too did not materialise over time, the doctor began demanding a refund. The doctor approached the police and registered a complaint, as Karan avoided the doctor's calls and eventually switched off his phone. A First Information Report (FIR) against the doctor was registered under Section 420 of the IPC. In another case, a 34-year-old man, who allegedly cheated people on the pretext of arranging a Mudra loan after collecting money from them and had been absconding since 2021, was apprehended. The accused, who was involved in multiple fraud cases in Hyderabad, by falsely promising assistance in securing Mudra loan, collected money and documents from victims and absconded, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Commissioner's Task Force) YVS Sudheendra said in a release.

Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar had more than just analysis to offer during the thrilling conclusion to the IND vs ENG Test series; he brought his now-famous 'lucky jacket' back into the spotlight. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As India clinched a dramatic six-run victory in the fifth and final Test at The Oval to draw the series 2-2, Gavaskar's exuberant reaction inside the commentary box went viral, adding a delightful personal touch to a historic moment. When Mohammed Siraj dismissed Gus Atkinson to wrap up England's innings at 367, sealing the Test match and levelling the series, the cameras caught Gavaskar proudly pointing to his white jacket, the same one he wore during India's iconic win at the Gabba in 2021. Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj press conference: India stars answer all questions 'Lucky jacket!' he exclaimed, his face lit up with joy. The moment, captured live, quickly took over social media as fans shared his excitement. Watch: Gavaskar had hinted at this earlier in the series. After Day 3, he told Shubman Gill: "Tomorrow, I am going to wear my lucky jacket which I wore in Australia, the white jacket for the Gabba Test. I have got it only for that. All the best, God bless you." Rain delayed play, pushing the final day into Monday, and sure enough, Gavaskar was ready in his signature white. As Siraj delivered a stunning five-wicket haul, the jacket's lucky charm seemed to work its magic again. "I kept this lucky jacket on this tour only for the series decider," Gavaskar later said during the post-match show. The match itself was a classic, with India defending 374 runs. Siraj (5/104) and Prasidh Krishna (4/126) rose to the occasion. Siraj finished the series with 23 wickets, the most across both teams. India's comeback from 1-2 down capped off a thrilling series and gave Gavaskar's jacket yet another legendary chapter.
