Karnataka police arrest man in Mumbai for duping people over medical seats
Mumbai (PTI): The Karnataka police have arrested a 47-year-old man in Mumbai for allegedly cheating many people with the promise of facilitating admissions in medical colleges, a police official said on Saturday.
Organda Arvind Kumar, originally from Belgaum in Karnataka, was taken into custody from his career counselling centre in the city’s Sakinaka area. He was arrested in a cheating case registered against him last year in the neighbouring state, he said.
Kumar had taken money from the complainant to ensure a medical seat but failed to get the work done, the official said.

“This is not related to the NEET paper leak case. Kumar has opened a counselling centre along with his team in Sakinaka, where Karnataka police conducted a raid and arrested him,” the official said.
It is suspected that he has duped more people, police said.
Admissions in medical colleges have come under the spotlight amid the CBI probe into the NEET-UG paper leak case. The federal agency has made arrests in multiple states in connection with its investigation.

Gujarat's Urvil Patel slams century in 28 balls, fastest T20 hundred by an Indian
Indore(PTI): Gujarat's wicketkeeper-batter Urvil Patel slammed the fastest T20 century by an Indian during his team's Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match against Tripura here on Wednesday, reaching the three-figure mark in just 28 balls.
This comes exactly a year after he smashed the second-fastest hundred by an Indian in List-A cricket.
The 26-year-old Urvil bettered Rishabh Pant's record for the fastest T20 hundred by an Indian. The India wicket-keeper had blazed away to a 32-ball century against Himachal Pradesh in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in 2018.
Urvil's ton is the second-fastest in T20 cricket, only behind Estonia's Sahil Chauhan, whose hundred against Cyprus came in 27 balls.
Opening the innings, Urvil struck seven fours and 12 sixes on his way to an unbeaten 113 off a mere 35 balls, as Gujarat completed a chase of 156 in 10.2 overs.
Earlier in the week, Urvil had gone unsold in the Indian Premier League player auction.
Exactly on this day last year, after being released by Gujarat Titans, Urvil scored an unbeaten 41-ball 100 for Gujarat in their Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Arunachal Pradesh in Chandigarh.
Urvil's century was the second-fastest by an Indian batter in List A cricket.
