    I hope this will be a lesson to all the parents, not to believe the fake agents, instead go through the right channels ie, either the newspapers ad by the government and also to find out whether such a institute is existing or not.

    It's really horrible to hear such a shocking news in the name of admission to Nursing College specially in the southern region of Karnataka. I really appreciate all those who have alerted this news to the police on right time.
