MP consumer court asks Byju’s, SRK to return fees & pay compensation

A district consumer court in Madhya Pradesh has issued a notice to the Byju’s manager and its promoter and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan for alleged “fraudulent behaviour” and “unfair trade practice” on the complaint of a woman, and has asked them to return the fees besides paying compensation.

The action came on the basis of a complaint filed by an Indore-based woman Priyanka Dikshit.

The woman had complained that she was encouraged to take admission to Byju’s coaching (course) for preparation of IAS in 2021 and had deposited Rs 1.8 lakh fees, but no coaching facility was provided to her.
